Philadelphia Condensed is a sans-serif typeface that was designed by Morris Fuller Benton and released by the American Type Founders (ATF) in 1926. It is a variation of the original Philadelphia typeface, but with a narrower and more condensed design. Philadelphia Condensed was popular in the 1920s and 30s, and became commonly used in advertising, newspapers, and magazines due to its legibility and modern aesthetic. Today, it still remains a popular choice in graphic design and typography, and is often seen in branding, packaging, and editorial layouts.
