Super Castel specimen from Production Type

A condensed serif family from Production Type offered in Extra Condensed and Condensed widths, spanning six weights with italics throughout.

About

Available exclusively in condensed cuts, Super Castel runs from ExtraLight to Black across both Extra Condensed and Condensed widths, each weight paired with a matching italic. The family's proportions and apparent contrast point to a transitional serif sensibility, making it suited to editorial headlines, book covers and display contexts where vertical economy matters. Twenty-four styles in total give it reasonable range within its narrow-width brief.

Classification

The name 'Castel' references a classical serif lineage in the transitional style, and the condensed-only release with high-contrast letterforms suggests a refined, editorial serif suited to vertical measure and display settings.
