Heavy geometric lowercase with deep cut-in counters and a flat y foot
Farday
Farday stretches its letters almost to the point of merging, so the strokes of neighbouring characters run within a hairline of each other and the word reads as one wide slab with slots cut through it.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Farday.
The name sits in olive yellow on a dark ground, the forms heavy and horizontally stressed: the a and the r fuse into one shape, the y drops a long straight tail below the line and the full stop ends the word like a stamp. Counters are reduced to narrow vertical slots, which is what keeps the letters legible at this width. Two tracked captions below describe it as a premium display face, and an arc above names the presentation. The design works only at large size: shrink it and the slots close, the fusion turns the word into a rectangle, and the point of the face disappears.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Farday’s stroke geometry.
Mark for a fashion house
The fused forms read as a stamp rather than a word, which suits a house that wants a graphic mark on a tag and a shopping bag.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 45 by 85 mm tag: set the house name at 14 pt on one row, keep 7 mm of clear ground beneath before the season at 5 pt, and keep 5 mm from the lettering to the punch hole.
Pre-production check
Hairline gaps fill first in print; check the tag proof before the run. Test it on the real material before the run is booked.
Cover for a design annual
One wide word fills a masthead with no ornament, and the cut slots give the cover its graphic idea instead of a photograph.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 240 by 320 mm cover: set the title at 130 pt on one row, keep 28 mm of clear ground beneath before the year at 10 pt, and keep 22 mm of margin from the trim so the fused block sits inside.
Pre-production check
Extreme widths need exact tracking; check the layout at final size before the proof. Verify the result on the printed piece, then approve.
Poster for a design night
The dark ground and the fused block give an evening event a poster that reads as one single object from across a wide street.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A2 poster: set the event name at 140 pt on one row, keep 30 mm of clear ground beneath before the date at 18 pt, and keep 26 mm of border so the tail of the y stays in the sheet.
Pre-production check
Long descenders can cross the trim; check the artwork before the poster is approved. Print a sample and re-check it at final size.
