Homage Condensed specimen from GarageFonts

A digital revival of LSC Condensed in two weights, paying homage to the tight, expressive condensed lettering of Tom Carnase and Herb Lubalin's 1960s–70s work.

About

Homage Condensed revives and recuts LSC Condensed, drawing directly from the condensed display style popularised by Lubalin and Carnase during the 1960s and 1970s. Steve Jackaman offers it in Medium and Black weights, each with a matching italic, plus a selection of stylistic alternates. The family suits editorial headlines and advertising settings where period-inflected condensed typography is required.

Classification

A condensed display revival drawing from the expressive, tightly-spaced Latin letterforms associated with Lubalin and Carnase's 1960s–70s work. The narrow proportions and two-weight structure place it firmly in the display category.
