src: url('beta-wide-font.woff2') format('woff2');
size-adjust: 105%; /* Force wider appearance if beta font shrinks */
ascent-override: 90%;
Then use:
h1
font-family: 'BetterWideDisplay', 'Impact', 'Arial Black', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
font-stretch: ultra-expanded;
This ensures that even if the beta font fails to load or render a specific character, the fallback keeps the "wide display" aesthetic alive.
