Extended

Extended font by the designer is a free retro condensed font. Tight spacing, tall forms, and crisp verticals give it billboard-level punch without eating horizontal space—great when headlines have to fit narrow columns or small thumbnails. The strokes feel sturdy and slightly industrial, with just enough curve to keep it friendly rather than stiff.

Using Extended, you can squeeze big impact into posters, event flyers, product packaging, social thumbnails, banners, and magazine cover lines. It shines on bold, short words and stacked layouts, and works beautifully for retro tech or arcade vibes. Pair this free font with a simple grotesk or geometric sans for body copy; add a touch of tracking at smaller sizes to keep it breathing.
