Bold Condensed Titling Recommendations
I’m looking for an alternative to the typeface Knockout. It will be used quite large and should work in harmony with Univers 55 as body text. I have been considering Helvetica Inserat but it somehow feels a bit wrong...

I’m not trying to be a smartass, but have you considered Univers Bold Condensed? It sure would go well with Univers 55.
And mixing Helvetic Inserat with Univers does indeed seem a bit wrong — like putting butter and margarine on the same piece of toast.

Yes, I’m looking for something with more weight than Univers 67.

The Linotype Univers Platinum Collection offers condensed weights in Heavy, Black and even ExtraBlack. One of those should be sufficently “heavy” for your task and still blend nicely with your body text.
