Scalpel Condensed by Héctor del Amo is a free ultra-condensed sans serif with towering proportions and a sharply tailored silhouette. Its letters shift between thin joins and broad vertical strokes, with clipped angles giving the smooth forms a tense elegance.
Art Deco fashion and poster design are its clearest references, making it apt for magazine covers, event graphics, and boutique branding. The extreme height can turn a product name into a decorative stripe. In editorial spreads, its narrow silhouettes can echo the long lines of fashion photography and architectural illustration.
