Typold Condensed Black Italic

Typold Condensed Black Italic is a high-performance geometric sans-serif designed by Jonathan Hill for The Northern Block. It represents a refined evolution of the original Typold family, specifically engineered to provide maximum impact in constrained horizontal spaces. The Black Italic weight offers a powerful, forward-leaning aesthetic that combines mathematical precision with a modern, technical feel, ensuring that each character maintains clarity and structural integrity even at its most extreme density.

This typeface is part of a larger system that focuses on balance and legibility across digital and print platforms. The Condensed proportions make it an excellent choice for designers looking to create bold, authoritative headlines without sacrificing vertical rhythm. Its sharp angles and consistent stroke weights reflect a contemporary approach to typography, making it a staple for editorial layouts, high-end branding, and sophisticated user interfaces.
