Xerox Sans Serif Narrow Font

Xerox Sans Serif Narrow, created by Ares Software Corp., is a free condensed sans serif with tall, clean letterforms and an emphatic vertical stance. Rounded curves meet sharply cut stroke ends.

Wayfinding signage is its strongest setting, since the slim proportions can give directional names a firm, orderly silhouette. The same restrained construction suits technical publishing, transport graphics, and spare corporate branding, especially when a neutral industrial voice is useful. On exhibition panels, the long upright shapes can become part of a grid or diagram rather than serving only as captions.
