About

A condensed humanist sans by Tobias Frere-Jones that compresses Whitney without losing its signage clarity. Six weights from Light to Black with matching italics, designed to sit alongside the standard and Narrow widths. Used in editorial, financial and information design where space is short but the brand still wants Whitney's calm institutional reading.

Classification
