Also the bottom horizontal block sounds to work properly. It seems solid enough to mantain the equilibrium of the upper side. Nothing to say about the text... it needs, IMHO, some 15s minutes of hard justifying job. Liked the clean style of T-U, but the structure abused a bit of the 0.5pt lines... and, still IMHO, when a main picture risks to be treated that way (small title, unaligned description, HUGE credits and bad pshop post-production) it's better neither to put that at work.

It can be more soft and reliable ... In the Gazette's first column, they left one word on the right side of the mug shot..and I think and it’s not that pleasing to the eye.
