Very condensed heavy capitals with narrow rounded rectangular counters
Sourced
Sourced shows vivid red capitals across a dark monochrome photograph, where tall heavy uprights and flat-ended arms leave thin rounded rectangular counters inside the O and D, the R carries a straight angled leg and the C opens only a small gap on its right side.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Sourced.
The stems stay tall and thick, the counters squeeze into vertical rectangles, the arms end flat and the side openings close. That compression is the character: a long word fits a narrow field without losing height, which is why the sample sets a single name alone on a photograph. Language support is mentioned on the cover but only the name and small captions appear, so check the accented characters you need, keep 40 pt before the counters close and give the rows extra leading.

Label for a hot sauce maker
The condensed caps give a bottle presence, and the narrow counters hold a two-word name at 24 pt on a 50 by 80 mm label, where the vertical slots stay open in one ink.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 50 by 80 mm bottle label: set the name at 24 pt over two rows with 14 mm between baselines, keep the counters at 5 mm minimum, and keep 6 mm of clear ground from the side edges.
Pre-production check
Counters printed at 3 mm fill in; check the plate proof at final size and hold the name at 22 pt or above.
Cover line for a photography issue
The heavy condensed forms sit well over an image, and the flat arms hold a one-word title at 68 pt on a cover, where the narrow silhouette leaves the photograph visible.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 cover: set the title at 68 pt on one row, keep 24 mm of clear ground beneath before the cover lines at 9 pt, and place the block where the photograph stays visible behind it.
Pre-production check
Dark type over a dark image disappears; check the cover and add a subtle band behind the title.
Banner for a robotics team
The condensed caps fit a narrow banner, and the tall forms hold a three-word team name at 52 mm across a hanging panel, where the angled R leg keeps the row sharp.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 400 by 900 mm vertical banner: set the team name at 52 mm over three short rows with 20 mm between baselines, keep the counters at 7 mm, and keep 26 mm of border all round.
Pre-production check
Three tall rows crowd a narrow banner; check the proof from five metres and open the row spacing.
