Heavy soft capitals with compact counters and slightly uneven edges
District Supply
District Supply shows mustard uppercase words across a pale concrete-like field. Broad nearly even strokes form compact round counters, the T arms run flat, the Y angles sharply, and small irregularities soften the outer edges of a dense rectangular heading.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of District Supply.
The strokes stay broad and even, the counters close compact, the edges wander slightly and the rows stack into a solid rectangle. That slight unevenness is the character: the face reads as a stencilled supply mark rather than a clean grotesque, which is why the sample keeps two lines flush. The cover mentions regular and weathered styles without isolating them, and the background grain is not built into the letters, so decide which file you have, keep 30 pt and test the compact counters at your size.

Label for a coffee roaster
The heavy caps give a bag presence, and the compact counters hold a two-word name at 22 pt on a 70 by 100 mm bag, where the uneven edges read as a printed mark.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 70 by 100 mm bag label: set the roaster name at 22 pt on one row, keep 12 mm of clear ground beneath before the origin at 7 pt, and keep the background flat so the soft edges stay visible.
Pre-production check
Fine edge irregularity disappears at 14 pt; check the plate proof and hold the name at 20 pt or above.
Sign for a skate shop
The dense blocks suit a street shop, and the flat T arms hold a short sign at 56 mm on a painted panel, where the sharp Y angles keep the row from looking plain.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 600 by 300 mm panel: set the shop name at 56 mm on one row, keep 22 mm of clear ground beneath before the hours at 15 pt, and keep 24 mm of border so the soft edges are not framed hard.
Pre-production check
A weathered file printed at small sizes looks dirty; check which style you have before the run.
Heading for a design feature
The rectangular heading sets a bold opener, and the even weight holds a two-word title at 54 pt on a printed page, where the compact counters keep the block dense.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 mm page: set the heading at 54 pt on one row, keep 20 mm of clear ground beneath before the standfirst at 10 pt, and keep the body in a light sans so the heading carries all the weight.
Pre-production check
Two heavy rows stacked on a page merge; check the layout and keep the second line at body weight.
