League Gothic is a great condensed "headline" font. It's a little more in the Gothic camp than Geometric (which is what your sample leans towards in my opinion), but I think you'll like it a lot.



EDIT: @thomasrutter made a comment below about the nature of "web safe." While this is not a Core Font that is naturally sitting on the vast majority of PCs, this is a freely available and embeddable font, so as long as you get the right font files (FontSquirrel has a good resource for this), you'll get compatibility on virtually every browser that's used today (even IE, since version 4!).

Although it doesn't look exactly the same, I'd recommend Impact as a great font that most computers will have installed already (Impact has been distributed with Microsoft Windows since Windows 98).



But there's no reason why you wouldn't use google webfonts, as mentioned in the comments, so I'd probably go in that direction.
