DejaVu Sans Condensed Bold Font

DejaVu Sans Condensed Bold, a free condensed sans serif from Bitstream and Tavmjong Bah, has a straightforward neo-grotesque voice with thick strokes, compact width, and smooth, practical curves. The letters feel workmanlike rather than slick, with a sturdy density that gives even simple shapes a firm, no-nonsense rhythm.

It fits easily into interface labels, charts, infographics, posters, and packaging where space is tight but the wording still needs visual weight. As a free font, it also makes sense for cover lines, navigation systems, title bars, and short wayfinding text, especially when you want a plainspoken sans that packs more letters into a line.
