Peoples, I am looking for a (preferably free) slim, ultra condensed font that I can install on my Mac with minimum of fuss and ideally use to create a simple .png graphic.
This is likely all that the font will be used for, hence the reluctance to splash out for a font that I'll likely never use again.
So with that in mind, can anyone recommend any font/s in particular that I could use?
I'm not looking for a script-like typeface, it would need to be clean and suitable for a professional site design.
A tall font would be nice, certainly nothing too bold ... something along the lines of this but that isn't condensed enough for what I have in mind.

Thanks in advance.

Mark.

What about this:
Nova Light Ultra SSi Thin Ultra Condensed

I was going to suggest Ostrich Sans too, but I suspect that's not condensed enough. Will have a flick through my font library later as I'm sure I have others that could fit the bill, it's just my memory for font names isn't as good as it used to be!

That's a good looking font for my needs.
I'll need to see it once typed to see how condensed the lettering is, but I do like that font.
