Very tall thin separate print
The Skinny
The Skinny is a very tall thin monoline print in dark grey: separate letterforms with a narrow width, a large height-to-width ratio, and rounded terminals that keep a severe face from feeling cold.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of The Skinny.
Both words are set on one line and the face is a print rather than a script: the letters stand apart, the T is a thin stem with a wide bar, the h and the k rise as far as the capitals, the n and the e are narrow and the y drops a long straight tail. The stroke is monoline and light, the counters are tall slots rather than round bowls, and the terminals are rounded, which softens a face that would otherwise read as a technical drawing. The specimen sits inside a thin frame over a pale botanical illustration, and a tracked caption at the foot names the style as tall and thin. The Skinny is a display print for posters, packaging and modern marks: it is at its best set large and in a short line, it pairs well with a heavier face beneath, and it should not be used for anything that has to be read at a small size.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to The Skinny’s stroke geometry.
Cover title for a design annual
A tall thin print gives a cover the airy modern look an annual wants, and the height means a long title still fits a narrow format.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 by 280 mm cover: set the title at 76 pt over two lines, keep 26 mm of clear ground beneath before the issue line at 10 pt, and hold 22 mm of margin on all sides.
Pre-production check
Thin monoline strokes can break on uncoated cover stock; print one cover on the intended paper and check the joins before the run.
Label for a skincare bottle
A tall thin face on a bottle reads as a modern formula, and the narrow width fits a long product name on a short curved label.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 45 by 90 mm label: set the product name at 15 pt on two lines, keep 6 mm of clear ground beneath before the volume at 5 pt, and hold 4 mm of margin on all sides.
Pre-production check
At fifteen points a tall print has almost no stroke width; print one label on the real stock and check the thin stems before the order.
Poster for a gallery opening
A tall thin face carries a date and a place without decoration, which is what a gallery poster needs when the artwork is doing the shouting.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 700 by 1000 mm poster: set the exhibition title at 150 pt over three lines, keep 40 mm of clear ground beneath before the private view line at 28 pt, and hold 34 mm of margin on all sides.
Pre-production check
A hairline stroke at poster size can look weak from a distance; print one proof at the final size and check the weight from across the room before the run.
