Loving the typography choice, layout and color scheme on Capitol Couture. The nice condensed type Alternate Gothic No. 2 is the perfect choice for establishing a sense of authority without being too cold. It’s the modern twist in vintage styling. It works so well on badges and as numbers. I personally love mixing a tall condensed bold type like this with a vogue-esq, modern serif such as didot. The two can’t be farther apart, but the balance of thick and thin, uniformity and contrast is harmonious and beautiful.
