A condensed serif with narrow proportions and a disciplined vertical rhythm, drawing loosely on the editorial atmosphere of late 20th-century print.
About
Built from the observation of mechanically condensed Times New Roman in everyday print, Lyst treats that compression not as a defect but as a formal starting point. The 27 styles span nine weights with Roman, true Italic and Slanted cuts, the latter set at a precise 10° angle to mirror the conceptual logic of mechanical inclination. The result sits somewhere between corporate clarity and magazine sophistication without committing firmly to either.
Classification
Explicitly described as a condensed serif drawing on the editorial serif tradition of the late 20th century, with narrow proportions and vertical tension; the initial conceptual spark was mechanically condensed Times New Roman.
