Why “stretch”? Stretching can be literal — horizontally expanded letterforms that read confidently at a glance — or conceptual: making a font work beyond its original scope (from logo to long-form copy). A successful stretched bold treats space deliberately: increased letterspacing to avoid crowding, open apertures to preserve distinct shapes, and careful contrast so strokes don’t fill counters. Think of Rockwell’s sturdy slab feel versus a grotesque’s compactness; stretch changes how those qualities read in paragraphs.
