Author's note

Restiv by Ermedia Studio is a free condensed serif font with exceptionally tall, slender letters and a sharp difference between thick vertical strokes and hairline curves. Fine, flat serifs emphasize the tightly drawn proportions.

Fashion magazine covers are a convincing use for this dramatic lettering, whose stretched silhouette can hold its own against close-up portraits and full-length editorial photography. Perfume packaging and boutique branding could draw on the same combination of delicate lines and dense vertical strokes to make product names a recognizable part of the brand.
