  I’m trying to match another site’s use of Proxima Nova Extra Condensed with something WordPress.com has in its selection of customizing fonts – any suggestions?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  WordPress.com has a limited set of fonts available. Proxima Nova is one of them ( https://typekit.com/fonts/proxima-nova ) but Proxima Nova Extra Condensed is not ( https://typekit.com/fonts/proxima-nova-extra-condensed ). So, we don’t have the font available that you are looking for.

  Some possibly good alternatives that we do have are: FF Meta, Futura PT, or Puritan. Would one of those work?

  Combining FF Meta with a rule to condense the “letter-spacing” using custom CSS could also add a nice touch.
