## About Saira Condensed

Saira Condensed is a sans serif family and one of four widths in the Saira system, alongside the normal width, Semi Condensed and Extra Condensed. In the specimen the letters are narrow with squared curves: o and e have nearly straight sides, strokes are even, and stroke ends are cut flat. The family has nine weights, Thin, ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold and Black, each supplied as a separate static file; there is no italic, and this package is not a variable font. Each font holds 773 glyphs across the Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese subsets. According to the official notes Hector Gatti designed the typeface and the Omnibus-Type team developed it. Saira Condensed is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Space-saving headlines**: Narrow letters fit a long headline on one line, with Bold to Black for emphasis.
- **Tables and dashboards**: Condensed figures and labels fit more columns across a screen.
- **Sports and motorsport graphics**: Squared curves and nine weights suit timing screens, line-ups and race numbers.
- **Mixed-width systems**: It shares its design with the other Saira widths, so a layout can change width between heading and text.

## Things to know

- **Nine separate files**: Each weight is its own static TTF; choose the ones you need.
- **No italic**: All nine styles are upright.
- **One of four widths**: Saira, Saira Semi Condensed and Saira Extra Condensed are separate families.
