sans-serifgrotesquecondensed
A clean grotesque sans originating from A2-Type's own letterhead in the early 2000s, now a full family spanning eight weights and two condensed widths.
About
Grown from an in-house letterhead face, the family covers eight weights from Thin to Black across the standard, Condensed and X Condensed widths. CNN has used a customised cut of the system for its online presence. The range suits editorial and identity work where a workhorse grotesque without strong quirks is needed.
Classification
Described explicitly as a Grotesk, originating from a letterhead design in the early 2000s. The proportions, weight range and naming convention place it firmly in the grotesque sans-serif tradition.
