Condensed Deco Fonts

Hi,

I came across this logo recently for Centropolis and love the condensed deco font. I tried finding it but couldn’t. Silhouette is the closest I got: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/letterperfect/silhouette/silhouette/

Any suggestions? Any fonts that look like this?

Thanks,

Tal

Try Huxley Vertical with alternate characters

Thanks, Robert.

Or for a less condensed alternative, Aldous Vertical.

Stephen, you nailed it! That’s the one they’re using in Centropolis. Thanks!

Curious, if I were to search Fontshop for this font, what keywords would I use besides Deco?

There aren’t too many other keywords attached to Aldous on fontshop.com, but if you had a FontBook you would have found it pretty quick as a See Also reference under Huxley and others. We want to get that cross-reference info on the site someday.

Thans, Stephen. I need to get a FontBook pronto.
