However, the single source file generates all width variants (Normal, Condensed, Semi Condensed, Semi Expanded, Expanded), which complicates creating an override config.yaml for a single width variant. + +A config.yaml override could be created for gftools-builder, but it would need to specify which instances to generate (only the Semi Expanded ones from the full designspace). + +## Related Families + +The Encode Sans superfamily spans multiple google/fonts entries, all sharing the same upstream repository structure: + +| Family | Repository | Status | +|---|---|---| +| Encode Sans (base) | thundernixon/Encode-Sans | Updated to v3 (variable font, 2020) | +| Encode Sans Condensed | impallari/Encode-Sans | Still at v2 (static, 2017) | +| Encode Sans Semi Condensed | impallari/Encode-Sans | Still at v2 (static, 2017) | +| Encode Sans Semi Expanded | impallari/Encode-Sans | Still at v2 (static, 2017) | +| Encode Sans Expanded | impallari/Encode-Sans | Still at v2 (static, 2017) | +| Encode Sans SC | thundernixon/Encode-Sans | Separate small caps variant | + +The base "Encode Sans" family was upgraded to v3.0 by Stephen Nixon (thundernixon) in 2020 via PR #2438, which introduced a variable font with wght+wdth axes. The width-specific static families (Condensed, Semi Condensed, Semi Expanded, Expanded) remain at v2 from the original impallari repository. + +## Notes + +- The impallari/Encode-Sans repo has had no activity since 2017-02-03. It appears to be archived/inactive. +- The thundernixon/Encode-Sans fork is a significant rework (v3) that consolidated the design into a variable font. It is the canonical upstream for the base "Encode Sans" family but not for the width-specific static families. +- The width-specific families in google/fonts (Condensed, Semi Condensed, Semi Expanded, Expanded) may eventually be considered superseded by the variable font's width axis, but they remain as separate catalog entries.
