New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
All,
Client is using a bad typeface and I want to suggest a replacement. Do you know of a GOOD face that looks like a cross between Franklin/News Gothic and Helvetica Condensed, with an x-height that pushes the limit on "too high"? Available in a range of weights and with an italic or oblique? That works in small sizes for short blocks of text?
Pairing it with Sentinel, which is gorgeous for the client's purposes.
Thanks.

Have a look at Spiegel Condensed by Luc(as) de Groot.

Imma present the client with Spiegel Condensed and Brown Gothic and see what they think.
Neither is too big a departure from their current; each has their own personality that might do quite well for them. THANKS!
