RB Neue Rational Condensed
Studio René Bieder publishes Neue Rational Condensed, the space-saving member of its Neue Rational collection, which also spans Normal, Narrow, Mono and Mix subfamilies. The foundry calls it a contemporary neo-grotesk with compact proportions, built for clarity and efficiency where width is scarce. Its MyFonts listing places the family in the lineage of Helvetica and Akzidenz-Grotesk, but with a more personal voice than strict modernist neutrality allows. The condensed family runs 18 styles, Thin through Black with matching italics, licensed at 35 euros per style. These free condensed grotesques cover the same narrow, utilitarian register without the per-style fee.
