Arial Narrow Font — Free Download
Download the Arial Narrow font family for free in OTF format. The package includes Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic.
Arial Narrow keeps the familiar look of Arial but takes up noticeably less room. That makes it useful in tables, forms, labels, presentations and other layouts where standard Arial feels too wide.
Arial was developed at Monotype by Robin Nicholas and Patricia Saunders. Microsoft began shipping the typeface with Windows in the early 1990s, helping Arial and its related styles become common across office and desktop publishing.

Design Notes
The main difference is easy to see when Arial and Arial Narrow are placed side by side. The characters are compressed horizontally, while the basic shapes remain familiar.
This narrower construction is handy for column headings, charts, forms and short blocks of information. Bold also works well when a compact headline needs more weight without taking up extra width.
Long paragraphs need a little more care. Arial Narrow can start to feel crowded when text is set too small or packed into tight lines, so it is generally better suited to short or space-limited typography.
