Since Michael mentions ascenders and descenders, you can use fewer
cards if you use only the capitals. I've done some loom controlled
words on 16 shafts and caps work out much better.

talking to my guild leader about sash ideas, and whether having the
faction name emblazoned along the sash is a good idea or not (I'm
more inclined to look at a leafy pattern, but thought I'd keep my
options open). I am just aware of how wide my inkle loom is (where I
do my tablet weaving) and if I use more than 30 or so tablets, I
risk the yarn falling off the edge!

What size of "smaller scale" are you looking for?
I have a Gothic alphabet that is much more compressed, like this:

but the letters are still 25 cards across (includes the ascenders
and descenders). I did one that was TINY - like ten cards across -
in brocade; it was just legible, but not really easy to read. I
could get two lines of text into a half-inch ribbon, tho!
