A new alternative to Univers Compressed, which you might like, is TypeTrust’s Heroic Condensed.

Thanks everyone, there are a lot of good suggestions here.

I’ve had another project explode on me, but once that fire is out I’ll be back to this one and will let you know what we finally choose.

“prices have to fit in a very small width space but are required to be a certain height (by law).”

“you could go smaller without going narrower”

sometimes you can. sometimes the law begs for variations ;-)

If you had more legible type you could go smaller without going narrower - so how about the H&FJ Retina fonts they did for stock prices in the WSJ?

Armada Thin Compressed reaches the limit of the unreadable.

and FB Titling Gothic has 7 weights of the “Skyline” width, which, though not as skinny as gigling down the aisle Kate Moss inspired Barcode, but I’m not as skinny as the designer of that font.

I wonder, how many syllables

hrant — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 18:41:22 -0800

I wonder, how many syllables are there in English?
Because a structure like Hangul would be really cool to
implement for Latin, not least due to its horizontal economy.

Very condensed font suggestions?

its_betty — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 13:14:36 -0800

I am looking for a very very condensed font, to use for numbers (prices) on store shelf tags.

I’ve searched and searched but have not found anything quite skinny enough. The prices have to fit in a very small width space but are required to be a certain height (by law).

In the past I’ve adapted a font by further condensing it, but I’d prefer to buy a very very condensed font for this new round.

I’ll need a heavy or black as well as a light or book face. Even better if $ and ¢ are smaller than the numerals.

The font should be sans serif, and should play well with avenir which will probably be used for the rest of the type of the signs.

Any suggestions are appreciated!
