Heavy rounded mixed case with vertical stencil splits through B and e
Biggie Stencil
Biggie Stencil is a heavy rounded display in which the bodies stay thick, the counters shrink to small ovals and a straight vertical split runs down the B stem and through the e forms, so a two-word sign reads as a bridge cut out of solid lettering.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Biggie Stencil.
The B keeps two small counter ovals on a thick stem, the e loses its crossbar to the split, the g drops into a broad curved tail and the i dots stay as solid round marks above the line. The single vertical split is the character: it turns a rounded heavy face into a stencil without flattening the curves, which is why the sample sets two words on a pale folded sheet. Because the cut runs through the middle of a letter, the face wants 40 pt before the split reads as deliberate, and cutting vinyl under 0.85 inches of letter height lets the bridge snap. The folded paper is a background; the black lettering is the face.

Board for a workshop gate
The rounded stencil reads from a gate, and the thick bodies keep the split visible at 70 mm on a painted board in one flat colour. One colour keeps the cut edges from smearing into the letter.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 600 by 250 mm board: set the words at 70 mm, keep 22 mm of border so the rounded bodies stay whole, and keep 5 mm of gap inside every split so the bridge survives. Hang the board at shoulder height.
Pre-production check
A bridge painted thinner than 4 mm cracks in weather; check the mask and thicken the bridge, not the outline. Two coats hold the bridge better than one.
Sign for a school workshop bench
The stencil cut suits a workshop label, and the heavy bodies stay legible at 40 pt on a card that will be seen from an arm's length away. The small counters stay open only while the weight holds.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 148 by 105 mm bench card: set the word at 40 pt, keep 15 mm of margin all round, and set the bench number in a 12 pt caps beneath with 10 mm of clear ground. Print one card for each bench.
Pre-production check
A bench card laminated over a stencil split fogs the gap; check the sample and matte laminate both sides. Matte laminate keeps the split visible under a shop light.
Tag for a pumpkin patch
The rounded blocks suit a farm tag, and the vertical split gives a short word texture at 24 pt on an 80 mm kraft tag with a punched hole. A kraft ground also hides any edge wear along the cut.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 50 by 80 mm kraft tag: set the word at 24 pt, punch a 4 mm hole 10 mm from the top edge, and keep 8 mm between that hole and the tallest letter. Thread string through the hole rather than taping it.
Pre-production check
A hole punched beside a split leaves a thin bridge that tears in a bag; check the die and move the hole 4 mm clear.

Summer Graduation
Summer Graduation is a tall quirky display in near-black on a pale blue illustration: narrow letters with small flares at the stems, an open R, a curled G and a slightly irregular rhythm, set in two lines with a tracked caption beneath, so the pair reads as a graduation card rather than a formal diploma face.
