Roboto Condensed from https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Condensed https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Condensed has recently become my go-to in-browser default, and the description reads like a lofty cheese and wine pairing:
""" Roboto has a dual nature. It has a mechanical skeleton and the forms are largely geometric. At the same time, the font features friendly and open curves. While some grotesks distort their letterforms to force a rigid rhythm, Roboto doesn’t compromise, allowing letters to be settled into their natural width. This makes for a more natural reading rhythm more commonly found in humanist and serif types.
This is the Condensed family, which can be used alongside the normal Roboto family and the Roboto Slab family. """
