Commercial Use Guidance
Commercial use appears permitted, but confirm the full license terms.
Use for impactful headlines and signage where maximum space saving is required.
Avoid using for any body text; it's extremely condensed and difficult to read.
Pair with a very legible and wider sans-serif or serif font for body text.
Optimize kerning and tracking meticulously.
Best for large-scale applications where legibility is less critical at a distance.
