MonoCondensed specimen from ParaType

A monospaced condensed sans-serif drawn at ParaType in 1990 by Alexander Tarbeev, derived from Vladimir Yefimov's Pragmatica grotesque of the year prior.

About

Designed at ParaType (then ParaGraph) in 1990, MonoCondensed adapts Yefimov's 1989 Pragmatica into a fixed-pitch condensed form suited to technical and handbook contexts. It is offered in Light and Book weights, each with an oblique, plus a Zoom variant of both weights. The monospaced construction and condensed proportions make it well suited to manuals, coding environments and tabular settings.

Classification

A monospaced condensed sans-serif derived from Pragmatica, itself a grotesque. The fixed-pitch construction and condensed proportions place it firmly in the mono category.
