BPOZZ Design Note

Upstream calls Economica a very condensed type, yet its files declare a normal width in OS/2, which is why BPOZZ does not tag it Condensed. Its narrowness shows in the measured letter widths instead: the lowercase is among the narrowest tenth of the library.

BPOZZ editorial guidance for designers.

About Economica

About
A very condensed sans serif designed in Montevideo, Uruguay, to save space in print without losing height. Its open forms and flattened curves keep it legible in tight spaces.
