Typewriter slab with highlight blocks
Registrar Archive
Registrar Archive is a typewriter slab in black with green highlight blocks behind the two words, on a textured paper ground: light mixed case with round bowls, small square feet and even strokes, with a caption line beneath and a credit under that, beside a photograph of a typewriter.

Letterform structure
of Registrar Archive.
The two words sit on separate green blocks, which is a layout decision that shows how the face behaves as a reversed-out label and as black on colour in one view, and that is useful for a face sold to documentary and editorial work. The drawing is a typewriter slab at a light weight: the bowls are round, the feet are small and square, and the strokes are even, so a paragraph set in it reads as typed rather than as printed. The typewriter beside the copy is staging that states the premise. Because the weight is light and the feet small, the face works at text sizes on a smooth stock, and the caption beneath the blocks demonstrates the size at which the face is meant to be read.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Registrar Archive’s stroke geometry.
Interior for a report
A typewriter slab carries a documentary tone, and the light weight keeps a long report readable across forty or more pages.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A4 interior: the body at 10 pt with 14 pt leading, the headings at 17 pt, and 66 characters per line. Print one ink on a cream stock with 22 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Check a full page at 10 pt, where the small feet can fill; test one page on the stock. Confirm the leading holds the column and that the headings stay distinct.
Label for an archive service
A typewriter label reads as a record rather than as marketing, and the light strokes keep a reference number legible at six point.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 70 by 40 mm label: the service at 11 pt, the reference at 7 pt, and the date at 6 pt. Keep 3 mm inside the die and print one ink on a matte stock.
Pre-production check
Check the 7 pt reference on a matte label, where a light stroke can fill; keep the size at 7 pt or above. Confirm the 6 pt date reads at arm's length and that the label peels cleanly.
Menu for a rustic wedding
A typewriter slab suits a celebration where everything looks printed rather than calligraphed, and the light weight reads across a table.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A5 menu: the heading at 18 pt, the courses at 9 pt with 14 pt leading, and the date at 8 pt. Keep 20 mm margins, print one ink on a cream card and let it stand without a fold.
Pre-production check
Check the 9 pt courses on uncoated card, where the small feet can fill; keep the leading at 14 pt. Confirm the heading reads across the table and that the card stands without a fold.
