Sharp Sans Condensed
Sharp Type · Lucas Sharp
A condensed humanist grotesque from Sharp Type that brings the friendly clarity of Sharp Sans into a narrower width suited to headlines and space-constrained layouts.
About
Sharp Sans Condensed distils the humanist warmth of Sharp Type's Sharp Sans into a compressed format, running across seven weights from Thin to Extrabold with matching italics. The tighter proportions make it well-suited to display headlines, editorial mastheads and branding contexts where the full-width family would feel too expansive. It retains the clean terminal treatment and even stroke modulation that characterise the wider family.
Classification
A condensed-width humanist grotesque that carries the warm, approachable letter structure of the Sharp Sans family into tighter proportions. Clean terminals, optically adjusted spacing and a humanist baseline distinguish it from a strict neo-grotesque. The condensed format preserves the legibility and personality of the wider family in a narrower footprint.
