## About Fira Sans Condensed

Fira Sans Condensed is a narrow sans serif, one of three widths in the Fira family. The family was designed to fit the character of Mozilla's FirefoxOS and to stay legible on handsets with very different screen quality. In the specimen the letters are compressed but keep open apertures in a, c, e and s, the lowercase is tall, and the heavier weights remain clear inside. Nine weights, Thin 100 to Black 900, each have an italic, giving 18 styles delivered as static files; it is not a variable font. Each font holds 2,677 glyphs covering Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese. Carrois, a Berlin type foundry, leads the project, and the copyright is held by The Mozilla Foundation and Telefonica S.A. It is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Mobile interfaces**: The design targets legibility on phone screens, and the narrow width fits longer labels into small layouts.
- **Dense tables and lists**: Condensed letters leave room for extra columns, with italics available for notes.
- **Headlines in several scripts**: Latin, Cyrillic and Greek share the same narrow proportions, so translated titles keep their line length.
- **Navigation and filters**: Medium and SemiBold mark the active item without widening the label much.
- **Longer text in narrow columns**: Open apertures keep words readable where a sidebar or card allows little width.

## Things to know

- **Eighteen static files**: Every weight and italic is a separate TTF; there is no variable version in the package.
- **One of three widths**: The official notes describe three Fira widths, all with italics, plus a monospaced variant.
- **Same character set as Fira Sans**: Each condensed font holds 2,677 glyphs, the same count as the normal-width Fira Sans files.
