Avondale Cond Font

Avondale Cond font by Derek Vogelpohl is a free retro display typeface. Part of the Avondale family, it squeezes tall, inky letterforms into a narrow footprint, with bold verticals and sharp cutaways that feel straight off an old storefront sign. The condensed shape pulls letters into a tight rhythm, so even short words stack up with poster-like impact and a slightly theatrical flair.

Using Avondale Cond, headlines snap into place on gig posters, book covers, packaging, menus, zines, and bold branding systems. The strong vertical strokes and compact spacing hold together beautifully in large sizes, where the subtle curves and chunky details really show. This free font pairs well with a clean, light sans serif for body text-set Avondale Cond big and let it do the shouting while the supporting type stays out of the way.
