Exo 2 is a free sans-serif font released under the OFL-1.1 license. Designed by Natanael Gama, it is a complete redrawing of the earlier Exo typeface, aiming for a technological, futuristic feel while keeping a more organic look that holds up better at small sizes and in long texts. It supports Latin, Cyrillic and Kazakh, with all the extra Cyrillic letters Kazakh requires. The family has 18 styles spanning weights from 100 to 900, contains 1033 glyphs, and is a variable font.
