Author's note

Gris Condensed by Shawn Griswold is a free condensed sans serif with exceptionally tall, narrow letters, dramatic shifts between hairline and broad strokes, and an unusually formal silhouette. The effect is elegant, severe, and unmistakably fashion-minded.

The lettering's strong editorial character makes it a natural fit for fashion magazines and cultural event posters. It also suits luxury perfume packaging and boutique hotel branding, where the slender proportions suggest refinement rather than bulk. In publishing, it can turn a masthead or section opener into a crisp, recognizable recurring feature across an issue.
