Solid marker-weight print with rounded joins and open counters
Ainsley
Ainsley is a solid marker-weight print in which the strokes keep an even thickness, the corners round off and the counters stay open, so a name reads as lettering written with a felt tip and then cleaned up for cutting.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Ainsley.
The A carries a rounded apex over a wide base, the i dots a solid square-ish block, the n turns two even arches and the s closes a smooth spine, all at a single marker weight with no taper and no chalk texture. The evenness is the character: nothing frays, which is why the sample sets a name inside a circle badge and a supply label beside it. The face weeds cleanly from three quarters of an inch of cap height on adhesive vinyl and holds from 18 pt in print. The soft pastel ground, the pencil and the small caption lines are presentation; the solid dark name and labels are the face.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Ainsley’s stroke geometry.
Cubby label for a classroom
The solid strokes survive lamination and small cuts, and the open counters keep a first name readable at 22 pt on a 90 mm strip.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 90 by 35 mm strip: set the first name at 22 pt, keep 5 mm of clear border, and laminate with a matte pouch so the plastic does not glare under classroom lights.
Pre-production check
A marker face printed at 14 pt closes its counters; check the strip and keep the name at 20 pt or above.
Water-bottle decal for a class set
The even weight weeds from small vinyl, and the rounded joins hold a room label at one inch of cap height on a curved bottle.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Cut a 60 mm decal: set the label at one inch of cap height, weld the letters into one path, and apply on a flat band of the bottle rather than across a taper.
Pre-production check
Vinyl applied over a bottle taper lifts at the ends; check the placement and keep the decal on the straight section.
Tag for a party favour
The friendly print suits a small kraft tag, and the solid strokes stay sharp at 26 pt on 50 mm so a thank-you reads at arm's length across a table.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 50 by 90 mm tag: set the word at 26 pt near the head, punch a 4 mm hole 10 mm from the top, and keep 8 mm between the hole and the first letter.
Pre-production check
A hole punched close to a letter tears the tag; check the die and move the hole 4 mm further from the word.
