Any Light Condensed Sans fonts with tabular OSF and SC?

gaphic29 November 2009 · 15:46

I'm looking for a sans font that has a light condensed weight which includes proper small caps and tabular old style figures.

This is to be used in tables with mainly numbers, in a two column book layout. I need the small caps because there are also a lot of acronyms.

Are either Whitney Condensed or Verlag Condensed close?

Thanks for the suggestions!

Whitney Condensed and Verlag Condensed certainly have the look and feel I was looking for. And I like Verlag's short-lining figures as an alternative to OSF. But I can't find any info about them having small caps. Can you confirm this?

Proxima Nova looks like it has all the features! Thanks, Mark.

Thanks, Stephen!

FF Unit and Vista Sans looks like the most interesting from your list for this application.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I feel like I'm spoiled for choice now.
