Foundation Sans Condensed
The condensed subfamily of A2-Type's Foundation collection, drawing on historical grotesque specimens from America, France and Nordic countries across ten weights with matching italics.
About
Twenty styles span Thin to Heavy, each with a companion italic, giving designers a wide tonal range in a tight horizontal footprint. Foundation Sans Condensed sits within a broader 100-font suite that includes upright and wide sans cuts alongside serif and Didot variants. The revival brief, rooted in historical specimens from three distinct typographic traditions, gives the family more character than a purely contemporary condensed grotesque would carry.
Classification
Part of the Foundation suite of revival fonts drawn from historical American, French and Nordic specimens; the condensed cut follows the grotesque tradition of narrow, upright sans-serifs suited to tight settings and display work.
