Compressed high contrast slab

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Stunco.
The word spans the plate and the drawing is a compressed slab with high contrast: the stems are heavy, the joins thin, and the outer curves are rounded while the serifs stay square, which gives a narrow face an unusual softness at the edges. That construction sets a size floor, because the thin joins close when the letters shrink, and the plate sets the word large enough that both the contrast and the corners can be judged. The green tiled wall is staging that makes the cream glow, and the small notes above and below carry the studio, the formats and the year. Because the letters are very narrow and heavy, the face suits a poster, a label and a fascia, and the compression means a long word can be set in one row on a narrow sheet.

Fascia for a coffee bar
A compressed slab fits a long shop name on a narrow fascia, and the heavy stems read under a light box at night. The compression is what makes the name fit.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Fabricate a 900 by 300 mm sign: the bar at 120 mm cap height, the menu in a 22 mm slab, 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 thin join can fill with light; keep it above 6 mm. Confirm the 22 mm menu reads at three metres and that the rule clears the fixings.
Cover for a music magazine
A compressed slab gives a cover a bold masthead, and the narrow letters leave room for a cover line beside the title. It holds a masthead at magazine scale.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the masthead at 130 mm cap height across 110 mm, the cover lines in an 8.5 pt sans, and the issue at 7 pt. Print two colours on a coated stock. Keep 20 mm margins for the cover lines.
Pre-production check
Check the masthead at 130 mm, where a thin join can break in print; keep it above 0.5 mm. Confirm the 7 pt issue survives lamination and that the masthead clears the trim.
Shirt graphic for a bar's anniversary
A compressed slab prints in one screen and reads as a venue mark, which suits an anniversary shirt for staff. Staff shirts need a mark that reads at a glance.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 250 mm chest graphic: the name at 65 mm cap height, the year at 28 mm, and one ink on a dark shirt. Keep the narrowest join at 4 mm and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where a 4 mm join can fill; open it to 5 mm. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the joins stay open after five cycles.
