scrlttr2 - Change Fontstyle for the whole document

Question

I want to write a letter that uses the same Font(style) as my CV.
For the CV i am using the europecv-class - so the font is on default: helvetica, narrow (condensed helvetica)
How can i achieve the same font in my letter?
If i use the following snippet, i get helvetica:
renewcommand{familydefault}{sfdefault}
usepackage{helvet}

but how can i get a condensed font, like in my CV?
Thanks!

You have to change the series to the condensed variant.
documentclass{article}

usepackage{helvet}
renewcommand*{familydefault}{sfdefault}
renewcommand*{seriesdefault}{mc}
renewcommand*{bfdefault}{bc}

begin{document}

Lorem ipsum textbf{lorem ipsum}

end{document}

Here a comparison of the two versions (standard above, condensed below):

Alternatively (and IMO preferably), you could use tgheros (an Helvetica clone but with full TS1 support) with the condensed option
usepackage[condensed]{tgheros}
renewcommand*{familydefault}{sfdefault}
