From the foundry
Designed for the screen by Dutch design legend Erik van Blokland, Action Condensed was Commercial Type's first release developed primarily for digital interfaces. Each of the family's four weights has three grades on the same width, allowing text to change weight on rollover without disrupting layout. Notably adopted by the NBA for their logo and graphic identity redesign in 2017 by Original Champions of Design.
