David Berlow drew Romeo Medium Condensed during winter of 1990, basing the design on the Estrecha Fina weight of Electra, a spectacular art deco sanserif with an unusually fine condensed series.

Carlos Winkow designed it circa 1940 for the Nacional typefoundry of Madrid, the leading typefoundry in Spain.

Jill Pichotta drew the ultra-light Skinny Condensed, a digital tour de force released with Medium Condensed.

Among other uses, Romeo is recommended for Magazine and Book use.
