Jablo
Jablo is a condensed display face with 100 glyphs, including a full punctuation set. Drawn for a situation that keeps coming up in layout: the headline is long and the column is not wide.

The problem
Long headline, narrow column. The shortcut is squeezing a face with a transform, and that ruins its stems.
The work
Condensed, not squashed
Squeezing a face with a transform ruins its stems: the uprights go thin while the horizontals stay heavy. Jablo was drawn narrow from the start, so the weight stays true.
Results
- 100 glyphs, including a full punctuation set.
