Heavy irregular block capitals with broad slab ends and slightly tilted stems
Clyde is a bold block display face with wide squared letters, a warm copper finish and a burnished edge that makes the shapes look cast rather than printed.

Visual anatomy & craft review
CLYDE fills the middle of the card in a copper tone on a deep green ground, and the letters are heavy and wide with flat tops, short stems and rounded outer corners, sitting on a slight arc so the word looks stamped onto a curved surface. The fill is a gradient with a highlight along one edge and a darker side opposite, which gives the shapes a metallic body, and small speckles of the same copper are scattered around the card like splashes. A caption at the top introduces the face and two lines at the foot name the style and the formats. The face is a display cut for packaging, signage and posters, and its character comes from the finish rather than the skeleton, so it prints well in a single metallic ink or a flat colour at large sizes.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Clyde’s stroke geometry.
The copper finish suggests a still and a barrel, and the heavy block letters hold a short brand name on a bottle at arm's length.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 105 mm label: set the brand name at 24 pt on one row, keep 9 mm of clear ground beneath before the strength at 5 pt, and hold 6 mm from the widest letter to the die line.
Pre-production check
Metallic inks band on a curved label; print one label and roll it onto the bottle before the run.
The block letters read as a brewery sign, and the metallic tone gives a plain cover a finished look without a photograph.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 by 280 mm cover: set the title at 90 pt across two rows, keep 26 mm of clear ground beneath before the edition line at 11 pt, and hold 18 mm from the widest letter to the trim.
Pre-production check
Copper on coated stock shows roller marks; print one cover and check it under a raking light before the run.
The face reads from the far end of a lunch queue, and the metallic warmth matches hot food and a paper tray better than a cold white sans would at the same size.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 1800 by 450 mm side panel: set the truck name at 240 pt on one row, keep 50 mm of clear ground beneath before the menu line at 24 pt, and hold 50 mm of margin at each end of the panel.
Pre-production check
Vinyl metallic films lift at the corners; print one panel and check the edge before the second side.
