i've been using futura medium condensed on a project series with decent results, and universe on supporting elements of my personal identity pieces.

unless you get a really good condensed text font you may consider just reducing the point size and leading... you'll have the same copyfitting win with a more even colour, and normal widths are more readable for a reason.

Use a serif, it'll be easier to read at a small size

meta serif is really nice as body - as is freight. they are quite condensed too and very economical (in a type sense).

Rotis sans or semi works pretty well. Not sure it has a condensed variant, but it's quite narrow in regular weight.
It does look a bit 90's
see no-logo for a sample.
