PT Sans Narrow

PT Sans Narrow is a sans-serif font with a compact, upright shape and a clear two-weight range. Its narrower proportions can help fit more text into limited space while keeping a familiar, readable appearance. With regular and bold styles available, it can support both everyday text and stronger levels of emphasis.

Best suited for: Use PT Sans Narrow for headings, navigation labels, captions, forms, tables, posters, and other areas where horizontal space is limited. Regular can handle concise supporting text, while bold can bring attention to titles, key labels, or short calls to action without introducing a separate style.

Design considerations: The 400 regular weight is a useful starting point for compact interface text and short passages, but narrow proportions deserve careful sizing and spacing in longer reading. The 700 bold weight creates a clear contrast for headings and emphasis. Test line breaks, especially in dense layouts, and avoid reducing size too aggressively.

Pairing guidance: Pair it with a wider sans-serif when you need softer contrast in supporting copy, or with a serif that has open, comfortable proportions for longer text. A neutral companion can keep the layout restrained, while a more humanist category may add warmth. Match optical size and line spacing rather than relying on weight alone.
