Lader Compact is the second narrowest subfamily in the Lader family, positioned between the narrow Lader Condensed and the standard Lader. With 18 styles from Thin to Black and matching italics, it offers a balance of space-saving efficiency while retaining more of the geometric grotesque’s character. Its balanced proportions and clean structure make it ideal for projects that require economy of space without sacrificing personality.

Lader Compact blends precise geometry with subtle curves, maintaining warmth and clarity throughout. Its versatile tone works well across both text and display uses, making Lader Compact a reliable choice for editorial design, packaging, and digital environments, especially in web design, app interfaces, and UX/UI contexts where clarity and style go hand in hand.

The Lader Compact subfamily comes equipped with a full range of OpenType features, from stylistic alternates and ligatures to fractions, subscript, and superscript, providing the typographic flexibility needed for expressive and functional design. Supporting over 150 languages, Lader Compact is ready to meet the needs of global audiences without compromise.
