Italian Sans Condensed specimen from A2-Type

A condensed industrial sans drawn from archival lettering specimens held at the Central Lettering Archive at Central Saint Martins, with proportional spacing that mimics a monospaced rhythm.

About

Designed as a companion to the wider Italian Sans, this condensed cut takes its cues from historical specimens in the Central Lettering Archive at Central Saint Martins, London. Characters are proportionally spaced but carry a monospaced visual cadence, giving display and editorial settings an unusual mechanical regularity. Five weights run from Light to Bold with no italics, suited to tight-column work, posters and branding that calls for an industrial edge.

Classification
