High-contrast capital sans with sharp diagonals
Valentra
Valentra is a contrast capital sans shown in black on a pale ground: sharp diagonals on the V, A and N, fine horizontal arms, a compact VA junction and an even rhythm, set as one large line beneath three pale ghost repeats of the same word and a small credits row above.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Valentra.
The plate uses the ghost repeats well: three pale lines of the same word sit behind the black one, so the buyer sees the face at a large size and at low contrast in the same frame, which is a fair test of the fine arms. The drawing is a capital sans with sharp diagonals and a compact junction, so the word reads as a technical mark rather than as a serif, and the fine arms set a size floor because they thin first. The credits row above is genuine product copy that names the studio, the glyph count and the language support. Because the letters are wide and contrasted, the face suits a masthead, a mark and a cover at display sizes.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Valentra’s stroke geometry.
Wordmark for an architecture studio
A contrast mark reads as technical rather than decorative, and the sharp diagonals give a short name a precise silhouette.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the mark at 18 pt on a card, 100 mm on a wall and 13 pt on a drawing sheet, keeping the fine arms uncut. Keep one colour and clear space equal to the cap height.
Pre-production check
Check the 13 pt sheet mark, where an arm can vanish; keep the size above 15 pt. Confirm the wall mark reads at eight metres and that the diagonals cut cleanly in vinyl.
Cover for an architecture annual
A sharp capital title reads as a technical publication, and the wide letters fill a measure with one word. It reads as a publication.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the title at 95 mm cap height across 200 mm, the subtitle in an 8.5 pt sans, and the year at 7 pt. Print one ink on a matte stock and keep 22 mm margins at the head.
Pre-production check
Check the title at 95 mm, where a fine arm can break; keep it above 0.25 mm. Confirm the 7 pt year survives lamination and that the title clears the trim at both ends.
Invitation for a modern wedding
A contrast sans reads as contemporary formality, and the fine arms hold in letterpress on a smooth card. The arms hold in letterpress.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A5 invitation: the names at 24 pt, the request in a 9.5 pt serif, and the date at 8.5 pt caps. Keep 26 mm margins and letterpress one ink on a heavy, smooth card.
Pre-production check
Check the 24 pt names in letterpress, where a fine arm can sink; proof the plate first. Confirm the request reads at arm's length and that the names clear the trim.

Banana Cupcake
Banana Cupcake stacks two large words in dark letters on a pale banana photograph, where tall narrow capitals fill the width, the counters squeeze into thin slots, the corners soften slightly and the letter widths shift row by row so the second word runs wider than the first.
