A two-row specimen grid of red posters sizing the French Nouvelle and Nouvelles mastheads across 4x2, 2x2, 3x2, 3x4 and 2x3 aspect ratios.
Summary
A specimen sheet showing the French "Nouvelle" and "Nouvelles" mastheads sized across many aspect ratios on red, so the headline scales correctly from wide banner to tall portrait.
Visual description
White page with the standard running header and footer and a left-aligned "TRANSLATIONS / FRENCH EXAMPLES" heading plus a short note that ascenders may crop the margins, which is okay. Below sit two rows of red poster tiles in assorted aspect ratios labelled 4X2, 2X2, 3X2, 3X4 and 2X3. Each holds a cyan serif "Nouvelle" or "Nouvelles" masthead scaled to fill its tile, with a swoosh, "PLAY NEW" tags and a cyan "XXX." at the foot. Wider tiles stretch the word large; narrower portrait tiles set it smaller but still full-width.
Key takeaway
A compact responsive type specimen: the same headline rendered at every needed aspect ratio in one grid, proving the masthead rule holds from banner to story. The constant red ground keeps focus on the type behaviour.
Reuse notes
A model for documenting how a headline or masthead should scale across formats. Building one specimen sheet per conjugation or language makes cross-format sizing unambiguous for production teams. Pairs with the black "guides" version that shows the same set as keyline structure.
