The narrow font version does not need to be 2×1, nor should it be.

CMTT10 has a width of 525 units in a 1000 unit em (a 2×1 ratio at 10/12
translates to 600 units), so it is 87.5% as wide as typical mono fonts.

If you want to stick with TTF (and its typical 2048 unit em), I'd target a
width of 1075 and play with narrow.pe until I got that result.  (1072 and 1080
may also be interesting options.)

But note that narrow.pe really generates condensed fonts.  With PostScript you
can get the same result just by changing the font matrix.  A proper narrow font
will keep the stem widths — or condense them only a bit — of the
normal-width version.
