Letterform structure
of Blacked Shadow Grunge.
Blacked Shadow Grunge is an inline-outlined grunge display serif shipped in seven formats including cut files: a heavy serif with a pale inline running down each stem, a hard offset shadow and a chipped surface that reads as a worn plate. The inline and the chips are the finest elements, and both fill when the face is reversed or cut small. It needs roughly 30 mm for the inline and the chip to read, and it is best in two flat inks on coated stock, or one ink on a cut material where the inline becomes a knock-out path.

Workshop identity, crate print and card
A grunge inline serif reads as a worn works plate rather than a modern logo, which is what a workshop wants on timber. The inline holds at 30 mm on a crate, and two flat inks print the crate and the cards in one order.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Crate print 300 x 200 mm, word 60 mm with 10 mm inline clearance, 20 mm margins. Card 85 x 55 mm, word 16 mm, 5 mm margins. Door plate 300 x 80 mm, word 40 mm, 10 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 300 x 80 mm door plate at 40 mm fills the inline and the mark reads as a solid black bar. Raise the plate to 50 mm or keep the inline at 2 mm, and check one plate before the run.
Shop-class label, planner sheet and display
A grunge inline serif reads as a workshop sign rather than a school worksheet, which is what a technology room wants over its benches. The inline holds at 16 mm on a label, and two inks print the labels and the display in one pass.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Planner sheet A4, header 16 mm with 4 mm inline clearance, boxes 60 x 40 mm, 12 mm margins. Bench label 105 x 40 mm, word 14 mm, 4 mm margins. Display 1200 x 400 mm, letters 160 mm, 20 mm margins.
Pre-production check
At 14 mm on a bench label the inline closes and the word reads as a bar once it is dusty. Raise labels to 20 mm and laminate them, and print one sheet before the class set.
Harvest-fest poster, tent sign and prize label
A grunge serif reads as a weathered country bill rather than a modern flyer. The inline holds at 100 mm on a poster, and two flat inks print the poster and the prize labels in one order.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Poster A2, word 100 mm with 12 mm inline clearance, details 34 mm, 20 mm margins. Tent sign 600 x 400 mm, word 90 mm, 25 mm margins. Prize label 90 x 60 mm, word 16 mm, 5 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 90 x 60 mm prize label at 16 mm fills the inline and the word reads as a stain. Raise the label word to 22 mm, and print one label before the batch.
