Greta Sans Condensed specimen from Typotheque

A condensed cut within Typotheque's wide-ranging Greta Sans system, offering ten weights with matching italics for demanding editorial and identity work.

About

Part of the Greta Sans system, one of Typotheque's most extensive type families, the Condensed variant spans ten weights from Hairline to Black, each with a corresponding italic. The full system also includes Compressed, Extended and Variable subfamilies, giving designers precise control over width and weight across complex typographic hierarchies. Its use in identity work such as the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature points to its credibility beyond the newspaper context for which Greta was originally conceived.

Classification

Greta Sans Condensed is part of a large humanist sans-serif system with multiple width variants; the condensed cut retains the humanist warmth of the parent family in a narrower proportion suited to tight editorial settings.
