full-width
Spanning entire distance
Full-width describes characters or elements that occupy the entire horizontal space available.
In typography, full-width characters take up twice the width of standard Latin letters—common in East Asian scripts where Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters need equal spacing: full-width katakana.
In web design, a full-width layout stretches across the entire browser window: The hero image is full-width.
