Proto Slab Condensed fits the same firepower as Proto Slab, in less space. However, it is not just a linear variant: see the richness of letter shapes we have packed in there, by exploring the PDF specimen.
In Proto Slab Condensed, the weights do not mathematically match those of the regular Proto Slab. So that, if you play mix & match with other members of the family (like Grotesk, Mono or Slab), the result is a more harmonious fit. Counter intuitive? Yes, but it works.
Use Proto Slab Condensed everywhere space is scarce, and you want to achieve a rough, machined, and rustic mood.
