Author's note

Ostrich Sans by Tyler Finck is a free condensed sans serif with extremely tall, slender letters, clean curves, and subtle changes in stroke width that keep the forms from looking mechanical. The narrow proportions are the main event.

Designers working in fashion, culture, and contemporary publishing will find it particularly suited to magazine covers and event posters, where the towering shapes establish a refined vertical emphasis. It also makes an apt identity face for galleries and design studios, though its clearest role is in editorial display work that benefits from elegant, space-conscious lettering.
