Condensed which fits to Akzidenz Grotesk

Hey I'm Looking for a condensed Sans which fits better to the Akzidenz Grotesk than the original „Akzidenz Grotesk Condensed“ does. I think the letterforms of the condensed AG are too awkward an it doesn't look like belonging to the family. Anybody an idea which could fit better?

cheers

News Gothic Condensed?

yeah, I considered that already.

Would anyone agree, that »Flama semicondensed« would be a good choice since I want to use that for a signage system and the corporate font of the customer is Akzidenz Grotesk but the regular one is too wide for signs and the condensed too awkward and the letterforms too much closed.

cheers
