Condensed variant (LLM Narrow) typeface sample.

LLM Lettering is a set of sans-serif typefaces developed by the Malaysian Highway Authority (Malay: Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia, LLM) and used for road signage on expressways in Malaysia. The font was divided into two types: LLM Normal (Standard/Regular) and LLM Narrow (Condensed). The LLM Normal typeface is a modified form of the Italian Alfabeto Normale and Alfabeto Stretto. The lettering is special use for the Malaysian Expressway System.
