Zed Display Compressed specimen from Typotheque

One width in a sprawling geometric display system that spans nine widths, three slant variants and nine weights across Display, Round and Text subfamilies.

About

Zed Display Compressed sits within one of the more architecturally ambitious type systems Typotheque has produced, covering nine widths from Extra-Compressed to Extra-Wide across Display and Round variants, plus a dedicated Text subfamily. Each width offers nine weights from Hairline to Black, with upright, Slanted and Backslanted cuts throughout, and a variable font option. The compressed cut is suited to tall, narrow headlines and editorial work where extreme width contrast is needed across a layout.

Classification

Zed is a large display system with geometric construction across multiple widths and slant variants; the compressed width is clearly intended for headline and display use at narrow measures.
