I'm looking for an alternate to Lubalin... something along the same lines but more condensed.
Any ideas?
- moveinspace0
damn the rest of us don't know typography.
- thislandslid0
by lubalin - do you mean lubalin graph or one of herb lubalins fonts?
- forcetwelve0
try luga
has nice alternates.
- Duane0
Lubalin Graph has condensed versions. I'm lost too.
- thislandslid0
lubalin graph and avant garde both come in condensed options
if you need a condensed slab serif there are lots of options - rockwell condensed is a good start
- moveinspace0
the type freaks came out of the woodworks.
- forcetwelve0
or how about:
schadow
calvert
serifa

Sorry folks... didn't mean to rub anyone the wrong way... just TG always seems to come correct.
And yes i meant Lubalin Graph... our copy doesn't have condensed... guess we didn't buy the full set.
Thanks for the suggestions... now to see if we have them or not.

No worries. I think the 'type freaks' genuinely wanted to help (and no one was offended). Good luck.

chz..man you didn't rub anyone the wrong way....I came off as a smartass. Hope those recommendations help. I love Rockwell and some of the other suggestions are good choices as well. Good luck.

type always rubs the right way.
good luck!

Avant Garde Gothic looks very similar, not sure if someone said this

Stymie - http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/ef/…
Memphis - http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/lin…
Look both very similar imo

A lot of this depends on the client/project. How contemporary do you want to be? A lot of the suggested fonts are goodies, but OLDIES.
Here are a couple newer condensed, geometric slabs:
