Narrow soft slab
Salt & Lime
Salt & Lime is a narrow soft slab in black over a watercolour lime on white: mixed case with rounded slab endings, a tight rhythm and a large x-height, with the ampersand drawn at the same weight and a small line beneath in a tracked sans.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Salt & Lime.
The plate sets the phrase in mixed case with an ampersand, which is the useful test for a face bought for product names: the lowercase shows the rounded slab endings, the r and the t behave well at a small size, and the ampersand is drawn as a proper character rather than a fallback. The drawing is narrow with soft slabs, so a long line fits in a small space without losing weight, and the watercolour lime behind gives the sheet its subject. The line beneath is a small tracked sans, which keeps the description separate from the display. Because the strokes are moderate, the face works at label sizes as well as at display, and the plate shows both by setting a short phrase large and a caption small.

Label for a drinks company
A narrow slab fits a long product name on a small label without shrinking, and the rounded endings keep it friendly rather than industrial.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 90 mm label: the brand at 14 pt, the flavour at 8 pt, and the volume at 6 pt. Keep 4 mm inside the die and print two colours on a white stock.
Pre-production check
Check the 14 pt brand on a bottle, where a narrow letter can distort around the curve; reduce the width. Confirm the 6 pt volume reads on the shelf and that the label holds in a cooler.
Sign for a drinks stall
A friendly slab reads at market distance, and the narrow letters let a long list of flavours fit on one board instead of two.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 900 by 400 mm board: the stall at 90 mm, the flavours at 30 mm, and the prices at 24 mm. Keep 25 mm margins and paint two colours on a light board.
Pre-production check
Check the board at four metres, where the rounded endings can soften the words; keep the contrast high. Confirm the 24 mm prices read at two metres and that the board survives a season outdoors.
Card for a summer party
A narrow slab with rounded ends reads as a friendly invitation, and the mixed case keeps a short message from looking shouty.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A6 card: the greeting at 26 pt, the details at 9 pt, and the date at 8 pt. Keep 14 mm margins and print one ink on a cream card with a watercolour accent.
Pre-production check
Check the 26 pt greeting at home-print resolution, where the soft slabs can fill; keep the counters above 0.6 mm. Confirm the 9 pt details keep a 4.5:1 contrast and that the card folds flat.
