The condensed cut of American Grotesk, holding Franklin Gothic's voice at tighter measures for headlines, posters and packaging.
About
A condensed grotesque by Kris Sowersby that compresses the American Grotesk system without losing its Franklin Gothic accent. Fourteen styles span Thin to Black with matching italics, sitting between the standard width and the tighter Compressed cut. Reach for it on posters, mastheads and packaging where you want vertical economy and the same vernacular American voice.
Classification
Klim classifies it as Lineal: Grotesque; the condensed cut within the American Grotesk system, drawing on Franklin Gothic's role in American graphic vernacular and persuasive communication.
