displaycondensed gothiccondensed
A tightly condensed display gothic revival drawing on the American wood type tradition, suited to headlines and poster work.
About
Built in the vein of nineteenth-century condensed wood type gothics, the design achieves strong typographic impact through extreme vertical compression. Its upright, single-weight structure makes it well suited to display settings where space is at a premium. The open-source release through League of Moveable Type has made it a widely adopted choice for editorial and poster work.
Classification
