Tall narrow display with curved blades
Puscreb
Puscreb is a very tall narrow display in near-black on an aged paper ground: capitals with curved blades at the outer edges, deep pointed shoulders and narrow bodies, set as one large word above two plain lines and a small paragraph of description.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Puscreb.
The plate is a printed specimen on aged paper, and the paragraph of description at the foot is unusual: the sheet states plainly what the face is and where it belongs rather than leaving it to the buyer. The drawing is a very tall capital with curved blades on the outer edges, so the letters read as a gothic hybrid rather than as a blackletter, and the blades give each stem an outward flick that makes the word wider at the top and bottom than in the middle. That construction sets a moderate size floor, because the blades thin first. It suits a title, a logo and a poster, and the blade flicks mean the face needs clearance at both margins.

Poster for a dark premiere
A bladed display reads as a title card, and the narrow bodies fill a portrait frame with one word. The blades sell the drama.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A2 poster: the title at 110 mm cap height, the details in a 14 mm serif, and the venue at 11 mm. Keep 30 mm margins and print one colour on a dark stock.
Pre-production check
Check the A2 at five metres, where a blade can vanish; keep it above 2.5 mm. Confirm the 11 mm venue reads at two metres and that the blades clear the margin.
Cover for a dark novel
A bladed display gives a dark cover a title with a silhouette, and the narrow fit holds a long word on a portrait format.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the title at 100 mm cap height across 140 mm, the author in a 12 pt serif, and the imprint at 8 pt. Print two colours on a textured stock and keep 20 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Check the title at 100 mm, where a blade can clot; keep the counters open. Confirm the 8 pt imprint survives lamination and that the blades clear the trim by 12 mm.
Logo for a tattoo studio
A bladed lockup reads as tattoo lettering, and the heavy stems hold on a window in vinyl at night. It reads as tattoo lettering.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Cut 700 by 300 mm vinyl: the studio at 110 mm cap height, the line in a 20 mm serif, and a 4 mm contour. Keep 25 mm margins and apply to a pane at dusk.
Pre-production check
Check the cut at 110 mm, where a 4 mm blade can tear on weeding; widen it to 6 mm. Confirm the 20 mm line reads at two metres and that the blades clear the frame.

Heavy rounded logo display
Talina
Talina is a heavy rounded display in royal blue on a pale sheet: a short name set in very heavy rounded letters with an extended T arm, wide round bowls and an inverted dot-and-stem i that reads as a cut counter, with three small credits in the corners.

Ultra-tall narrow capitals
Nexusbold
Nexusbold is an ultra-tall condensed display in off-white on black: capitals with shared-looking top bars, long rectangular counters and flat terminals, set as one enormous word that fills the whole sheet, surrounded by small technical labels, a barcode and a red badge.
Looped rounded mixed case with interwoven central strokes and a deep p stem
Glepha
Glepha shows white and purple lettering on black, where a broad open G introduces rounded lowercase forms, the l rises into a narrow loop and the central letters intertwine through a crossing horizontal stroke, while the p drops far below the main bodies and the final a keeps a simple broad bowl.

Condensed capitals with coarse scattered erosion and straight stems
Dirty Strong
Dirty Strong is a condensed industrial display in which the stems run straight and narrow, the bowls stay compact and coarse patches of wear break the fill at several scales, so a heading reads as paint on a warehouse sign.
