Centro Sans Condensed is part of a larger type system that includes an extra condensed and a compressed version which all together complement the award-winning Centro Sans Pro type family. It was originally developed for the redesign of the Financial Times Deutschland newspaper in order to offer a strong readable custom font family which managed to retain the serious reputation of the newspaper. Specific versions were developed for headlines, body text, captions and charts. Centro Sans is a type system with distinct personality which stands out at large sizes. It does not attract any unnecessary attention at small sizes but it still gives you the essence of a very clean, expressive, legible and modern set of typefaces which makes it an ideal choice for newspapers, magazines and corporate applications. Centro Sans Condensed comes with 18 styles including true-italics, whereas the Centro Sans type system offers a comprehensive range of 66 font variations.
Ligatures: Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph, creating a professional-looking text with no peculiar collisions among letters. This feature covers the standard f-ligatures.
Oldstyle figures: Changes selected figures from the default lining to oldstyle i.e. numbers of varying height. These are appropriate for use with lowercase text. They come in two different styles: tabular and proportional. Tabular figures have equal widths (useful for tables, so that numbers line
up from one line to the next) whereas proportional have varying widths and are basically used within a sentence.
Lining figures: This feature changes selected figures from oldstyle to the default lining form. Lining figures are numbers which fit better with all-capital text and they are of the same height as capitals or a bit smaller. They also come in two different styles: tabular and proportional.
Proportional figures: Replaces selected figure glyphs which are set on tabular widths (lining or oldstyle), with corresponding glyphs set on proportional widths (lining or oldstyle).
Tabular figures: Replaces selected figure glyphs which are set on proportional widths (lining or oldstyle), with corresponding glyphs set on tabular widths (lining or oldstyle).
