Large rounded capitals carrying school-object illustrations and striped surface panels
Back to School packs multicoloured capitals into three rows, where pencils, a school bus, stacked books, a notebook and computer screens overlap the broad letter bodies and striped panels fill parts of the strokes at varied angles.

Sturdy stroke walls and open counters weed cleanly on adhesive vinyl, HTV apparel film, and cut cardstock.
Visual anatomy & craft review
The bodies stay broad and round, the objects sit on top of the letters, the stripes vary in angle and the colours change across the rows. That overlap is the character: the alphabet becomes a classroom scene rather than a decorated face, which is why the sample needs three rows. Confirm the actual objects, the letter mapping and whether colours are applied separately, keep 44 pt so the small details survive and set practical information in a plain face. The object details are the first to go: at 30 pt the pencils and rulers inside the letters silt into coloured blobs, so keep 44 pt and set any practical information in a plain face.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Back to School’s stroke geometry.
The illustrated caps suit a notebook cover, and the broad bodies hold a short title at 46 pt on an A4 cover, where the objects stay legible at that size.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 notebook cover: set the title at 46 pt on one row, keep 22 mm of clear ground beneath before the subject line at 12 pt, and keep the objects to the upper half so the cover stays calm.
Pre-production check
Object details under 2 mm close at cover size; check the proof and hold the title at 40 pt or above.
The rounded letters read at a door, and the heavy forms hold a room label at 44 pt on a printed plate, where the striped panels supply the colour.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 300 by 120 mm plate: set the label at 44 pt on one row, keep 16 mm of clear ground beneath before the teacher name at 12 pt, and keep 18 mm of margin for the fixings.
Pre-production check
Practical information should not be set in this face; check the sheet and keep names in a plain sans.
The school objects suit a small tag, and the broad caps hold a name at 26 pt on a 45 by 70 mm tag, where one object per letter reads at that scale.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 45 by 70 mm tag: set the name at 26 pt on one row, keep 10 mm of clear ground beneath for the illustration, and keep 7 mm to the punch hole so the tag holds.
Pre-production check
Colours may need manual application; check the file before promising a two-ink print to the client.
Technical & licence verification
Confirm included OTF/TTF/WOFF formats, full glyph tables and licence coverage on the live store page before batch production.
