39 Condensed Fonts To Help You Save Space In Your Designs
One of the challenges in design is ensuring every inch of your work has been utilized – even if it’s just as white space. While large elements are often the choice for attention-grabbing projects, narrow ones can be just as appealing when used correctly.
In such cases, condensed fonts come in handy. Not only are they visually stunning, they are usually chic, stylish, and require less space. This makes them the obvious option for works like branding, logos, signage, or minimalist concepts.
