Tall compact display capitals
Nothing
Nothing is a set of tall condensed hand-drawn capitals, set in white over a dark landscape: narrow stems, short crossbars and a few letters that step out of the line.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Nothing.
The word fills the card in white capitals, and each letter is a narrow rectangle of strokes: the N is drawn as two uprights and a diagonal, the O closes into a tall loop that leans slightly, the H carries its crossbar high and the G finishes with a flat shelf instead of a spur. Behind the capitals a fine script writes the same word at a much smaller size, which is the only colour in the composition, and the ground is a dark photograph of water with a single small boat. Two captions above and below are set in the same narrow hand. The face is a tall hand-drawn display for posters, covers and merchandise: it is legible at a distance, it wants a large size, and its narrow width is what lets a long word fit a portrait format.

Menu cover for a lakeside wedding
A tall narrow word fits a portrait menu cover, and the hand-drawn strokes suit a celebration held outdoors rather than in a formal hall.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 130 by 210 mm menu: set the heading at 50 pt on one row, keep 22 mm of clear ground beneath before the courses at 9 pt, and hold 16 mm of margin on both sides.
Pre-production check
Narrow strokes can look spindly on a large format; print one menu at the final size and check the weight before the set.
Cover for a small studio's portfolio
A tall neutral wordmark lets the work behind it do the talking, and the narrow letters give a plain portfolio a recognisable cover.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 by 297 mm cover: set the studio name at 110 pt on one row, keep 30 mm of clear ground beneath before the contact line at 11 pt, and hold 20 mm of margin on all sides.
Pre-production check
A hand-drawn wordmark scanned over a photograph loses its edges; print one cover and check the letterforms stay crisp before the run.
Title for a travel feature
A tall condensed capital set works over photography, and the hand-drawn irregularity keeps a travel opener from looking like an advertisement.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 230 by 300 mm opener: set the title at 100 pt on one row, keep 26 mm of clear ground beneath before the standfirst at 11 pt, and hold 20 mm of margin so the image can bleed one side.
Pre-production check
White lettering over a light sky loses contrast; print one opener and check the title separates from the photograph before the issue.
