Bryant Condensed
Process Type Foundry · Eric Olson · 2005
A four-weight condensed companion to Bryant 2, sharing the same warm character in a narrower cut suited to display and medium text sizes.
About
Part of a three-width Bryant family alongside Bryant 2 and Bryant Compressed, this condensed cut keeps the approachable, rounded quality of the wider sibling while working across display and mid-text sizes. Four weights are available, with OpenType features including arrows and stylistic alternates. The name signals condensed proportions, though Eric Olson describes it as simply 'not too wide', making it more versatile than a tightly compressed display face.
Classification
Bryant Condensed shares the warm, rounded character of its sibling Bryant 2, placing it firmly in the humanist sans tradition despite its condensed proportions and display-friendly weight range.
