About This Font
Inconsolata Ultra Condensed ExtraBold is a striking monospace typeface designed by Raph Levien, Cyreal, and Brenton Simpson.

Licensed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL), it is free for personal and commercial use, including web embedding and software distribution. The font supports Latin script and English language, making it ideal for coding environments, data-heavy displays, and bold headlines where space is at a premium.
