Tall narrow capitals shown alongside condensed, sloping and hollow labelled samples
Gobold
Gobold centres pale spaced capitals on burgundy above a larger HIGH sample and several smaller style-labelled words, where the main title has narrow rounded rectangular bowls and the cover carries a banner claiming a twenty-eight-family range while each sample names its own direction.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Gobold.
The main caps stay narrow, the tracking opens, the labelled samples differ in slope and fill and the banner states a number. That comparison is the character: the cover is a shortlist rather than one voice, which is why the samples carry their own labels. The family count is a claim rather than a checked inventory, so identify the actual style you were given, test its bowls at 24 pt and treat the hollow and sloping samples as directions to search rather than files you already hold.

Wordmark for an architect
The narrow spaced caps give a practice restraint, and the rectangular bowls hold a two-word name at 24 pt on a card, where the tracking keeps the row calm.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an 85 by 55 mm card: set the wordmark at 24 pt on one row with wide tracking, keep 16 mm of clear ground beneath before the address at 7 pt, and keep the block flush left against the margin.
Pre-production check
Wide tracking on a short name looks loose; check the card and reduce it to 8 percent of the point size.
Running head for a report
The narrow caps suit a running head, and the compact bowls stay crisp at 9 pt across a page, where the spacing keeps a long title readable.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 mm page: set the running head at 9 pt on one line with 10 percent tracking, keep 6 mm of clear ground above the first column, and keep the head in a single colour so it recedes.
Pre-production check
Narrow bowls close at 7 pt; check the printed page and keep the head at 9 pt or above, tracking it slightly wider if the bowls still fill.
Sign for a lecture theatre
The tall caps read on a door, and the narrow forms hold a room name at 40 pt on a printed plate, where the spacing separates the letters from a corridor distance.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 300 by 120 mm plate: set the room name at 40 pt on one row, keep 14 mm of clear ground beneath before the capacity line at 12 pt, and keep 16 mm of margin for the fixings.
Pre-production check
The file you hold may be a sloping or hollow sample; check the style before the artwork is approved.
