Rytual ExtraCondensed
Superior Type · Petr Kučera
An extra condensed grotesque sans in 18 styles plus a variable axis, covering Latin and Cyrillic, grown from a custom commission into a full family.
About
Designed by Petr Kučera and originating as a custom typeface for a friend, Rytual ExtraCondensed builds its character through accumulated consistency rather than any single dramatic formal gesture. The family spans 18 styles across a substantial weight range from Thin to Black, each with matching italics, and ships with a variable font. Fourteen stylistic sets and OpenType features including oldstyle figures and localised forms extend its typographic range for display and editorial work.
Classification
An extra condensed sans-serif with a grotesque character, designed around consistent repetition of a single decision across weights and widths. The narrow proportions and upright structure place it firmly in the grotesque sans tradition.
