About

A narrow humanist sans by Tobias Frere-Jones that sits between Whitney and Whitney Condensed in the family system. Six weights from Light to Black with matching italics. Used where designers want to fit more words on a line or a sign without slipping into a visibly condensed voice, particularly in editorial mastheads, museum labels and financial documents.

Classification

H&Co frame Whitney Narrow as an intermediate width sitting between the standard Whitney and Whitney Condensed, designed to save space without the visible compression of the Condensed cut.
