Very tall condensed sans

Strivon is a very tall condensed sans in black on a ruled off-white sheet: mixed case with long straight ascenders, a pointed v, narrow bowls and flat terminals, set as one large word with four small tracked notes in the corners and a plain line beneath.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Strivon.
The word rises to fill most of the sheet and the drawing is a very tall condensed sans: the ascenders are long and straight, the v is pointed, and the bowls are narrow, so the face reads as a modern editorial condensed rather than as a sports block. That construction sets a moderate size floor for small print and works best at large sizes, which the plate demonstrates by setting the word as tall as the sheet allows. The ruled ground and the four corner notes are plain and small, and they carry the style, the studio and the year. Because the letters are narrow and even, the face suits a cover, a poster and a fascia, and it fits a long word in a narrow column without dropping the cap height, which is the practical reason to choose a condensed face.

Cover for a design journal
A tall condensed sans fills a narrow cover, and the straight ascenders give the title a vertical rhythm. A narrow cover needs height, not width.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the title at 140 mm cap height across 150 mm, the issue in a 9 pt sans, and the price at 8 pt. Print one ink on a matte stock and keep 20 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Check the title at 140 mm, where a pointed v can look fragile; keep the joins solid. Confirm the 8 pt price survives lamination and that the title clears the trim.
Fascia for a studio
A tall condensed sans fits a long studio name on a narrow fascia, and the even stroke holds under backlighting. Long names fit a fascia only when condensed.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Fabricate a 1,100 by 300 mm sign: the studio at 120 mm cap height, the floor in a 22 mm sans, and a 4 mm rule. Keep 22 mm margins and specify an even backlight.
Pre-production check
Check the sign at 120 mm, where a narrow bowl can fill with light; keep it above 6 mm. Confirm the 22 mm floor reads at three metres and that the rule clears the fixings.
Banner for a lecture series
A condensed sans sets a long series title in one row, and the tall letters read from the back of a hall. A hall banner is read from the back row.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print 1,300 by 420 mm: the series at 150 mm cap height, the dates in a 30 mm sans, and a 5 mm border. Keep 28 mm margins and print two colours on light vinyl.
Pre-production check
Check the banner at ten metres, where the narrow bowls can merge; add 2 percent tracking. Confirm the 30 mm dates read at five metres and that the eyelets clear the block.
