Original specimen by AMTYPES

Thin informal marker mixed case with towering capitals and long cross-strokes

Bird House

Bird House is a thin informal marker hand in which the first capital towers over a narrow lowercase body, the H rises especially high and a long cross-stroke travels across the second word, so a name reads as a quick marker sketch.

Visual anatomy & craft review

Letterform structure
of Bird House.

The B loops broadly over a small ird, the H lifts a tall stem with a long diagonal bar, the lowercase bodies stay narrow and the e finishes in a small curl, all at a thin weight with visible marker taper and an uneven baseline. The scale jump between the initial and the body is the character: it keeps the mark from looking like typed text, which is why the sample sets two words with two underline strokes beneath. Because the strokes are thin, the face needs 24 pt in print and welds for cutting from 1.1 inches of x-height. The grey ground, the house photograph and the underlines are presentation; the white marker lettering is the face.

Brand & packaging

Signature mark for a small studio

The towering initial gives a studio a personal mark, and the thin strokes stay legible at 30 pt on a printed card in one ink.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print an 85 by 55 mm card: set the mark at 30 pt, keep 12 mm of clear ground beneath for the address block, and set the address at 7 pt in a neutral sans.

Pre-production check

A long cross-stroke printed into an address line crosses it; check the card and keep 10 mm under the mark.

Autumn

Label for a garden shop

The informal hand suits a printed label, and the narrow lowercase keeps a long name readable at 18 pt on a 60 mm kraft tag.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print a 60 by 35 mm tag: set the name at 18 pt, keep 5 mm of border, and keep the tall initial inside the trim by starting the line 6 mm from the left edge.

Pre-production check

A towering capital set at the die edge is cut through; check the imposed tag and keep 5 mm of clearance.

Thank you

Note card for a handmade order

The marker hand gives a parcel note warmth, and the thin strokes hold a short line at 22 pt on a 90 mm packing slip inside the box.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print a 90 by 50 mm slip: set the line at 22 pt, set the order number in a 7 pt mono beneath it, and keep 8 mm of clear ground between those two rows.

Pre-production check

A thin marker face printed over a small mono line crowds it; check the slip and keep 6 mm between rows.
