Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Imheve.
Every letter is built from thick rectangles: the I is a plain slab with feet at both ends, the M holds two heavy diagonals, the H joins two thick stems with a bar as heavy as the stems and the V closes to a sharp point. The only white inside the letters appears as small diagonal slits, which is what keeps the face readable while removing nearly all counters, and the feet are short and flat with no bracketing. Weight is maximal and there is no contrast at all, so the word reads as one block at any size above 60 pt; below that the slits close and the letters merge. The green and yellow ground, the magenta ink and the two small credits are presentation; the typeface is the word.

Cover wordmark for an architecture annual
The massive squared construction reads at cover size and holds up as a thumbnail, which is where annual covers are usually judged.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the wordmark at 120 pt across the top half of an A4 cover, keep the issue line in a fine sans at 9 pt, and leave 20 mm at each side so the wide letters are not clipped.
Pre-production check
Below about 60 pt the diagonal slits close; check the printed cover and keep the wordmark large rather than substituting another face.
Sign for a design studio
The architectural weight suits a studio fascia and reads down a corridor, and the squared skeletons cut cleanly in metal and vinyl.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the studio name at 25 cm on the fascia, keep the address in a fine sans at 5 cm, and hold 15 cm of margin so the heavy slabs are not cut by the frame edge.
Pre-production check
A cut vinyl slab with slits needs bridges; check the cut file at full size and keep every slit at least 4 mm wide.
Sign for a modern gallery wedding
The block weight gives a contemporary wedding signage without a serif, and the squared letters read at a distance in a large room.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the greeting at 10 cm on a 500 by 700 mm board, set the names in a fine sans at 4 cm beneath, and leave 10 cm of margin so the wide letters stay inside the board.
Pre-production check
A massive block beside fine sans details looks unbalanced; check the board at full size and increase the weight of the details before shrinking the greeting.
