About the family


Radiant Bold Extra Condensed, originally designed by Robert Middleton in 1940, was commissioned by the Emporium (now Macy's) for the Sunday supplement of the San Francisco Examiner. Initially, I resisted adding lowercase letters, believing the font's elegance was best showcased in uppercase only. However, I eventually embraced the idea and incorporated lowercase letters, along with two additional weights: Light and Medium. When used thoughtfully at larger sizes, these typefaces exude sophistication and versatility, making them ideal for branding, editorial design, and impactful headlines.
