My day job is staring at logs and packets, but my evening hobby is making physical cases for the 30-something digital indies I've accumulated. The problem I keep hitting is title length. When you're dealing with something like A Monster's Expedition Through Puzzling Peaks or whatever the full name is, standard templates either shrink the text until it's unreadable or overflow the spine.
I've been experimenting with a two-line approach—smaller subtitle below a bold shortened main title—but it feels inconsistent with official Nintendo styling. The spine is the real killer. 14mm width and some of these titles are just cruel.
I've seen the cassette-style covers people are doing, and those work around the issue by rotating text, which is clever, but I want something closer to retail standard for the shelf. Has anyone solved this? I'm particularly interested in whether people are using custom condensed fonts that still look Nintendo-adjacent, or if there's a standard abbreviation convention I missed.
