Spaced light minimal sans
Modern Limited is a light spaced sans in charcoal on a pale pink brush swash: wide-tracked caps with simple straight stems and rounded O and D, set on two lines with a tracked line above and beneath, and a brush stroke behind the block.

Visual anatomy & craft review
The word is set in caps with wide letterspacing, which is the way this kind of minimal face is normally used, and the drawing is a light geometric sans: the stems are straight, the O and D are near-circular, and the strokes are even, so the face reads as calm rather than neutral. That construction sets the tracking requirement, because a light face with wide spacing needs generous margins, and the plate supplies them by keeping two short lines on a plain ground. The brush swash behind the block is staging that shows the type over a texture without competing. Because the strokes are light, the face works at display sizes on smooth stock and at text sizes on white, and the plate's tracked lines demonstrate the smaller size.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Modern Limited’s stroke geometry.
A light spaced sans reads as premium beauty, and the wide tracking gives a short name a considered mark on a small carton.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the mark at 14 pt on a carton, 60 mm on a shelf panel and 10 pt on a card, tracking the caps by 120 units. Keep one colour and clear space equal to the cap height.
Pre-production check
Check the 10 pt card mark on uncoated stock, where a light stroke can fade; keep the size above 10 pt. Confirm the shelf panel reads at four metres and that the tracking stays even.
A spaced light sans gives a design cover restraint, and the wide tracking fills the cover width with only two short words.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the title at 60 mm cap height across 190 mm with 120 units of tracking, the subtitle in a 9 pt sans, and the author at 8 pt. Print one ink on a matte stock.
Pre-production check
Check the title at 60 mm, where wide tracking can push the line past the margin; count the characters first. Confirm the 8 pt author survives lamination and that the block clears the trim.
A spaced sans gives a contemporary invitation calm, and the wide tracking keeps a long pair of names from crowding each other.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A5 invitation: the names at 18 pt with 110 units of tracking, the request in a 9.5 pt serif, and the date at 8.5 pt. Keep 24 mm margins and letterpress one ink on a heavy card.
Pre-production check
Check the 18 pt names in letterpress, where wide tracking can expose uneven spacing; proof the plate first. Confirm the 9.5 pt request reads at arm's length and that the names clear the trim.
Technical & licence verification
Confirm included OTF/TTF/WOFF formats, full glyph tables and licence coverage on the live store page before batch production.
