Bevel-grooved 1920s saloon capitals
Cami
Cami sculpts wide Victorian-Western capitals with mid-stem spurs and recessed inline grooves, so a three to seven letter name reads as a carved sign over a saloon door or a theatre header.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Cami.
The letters spread wide, each stem carries a recessed groove down its middle, small spurs project from the joints and the feet square off heavy. The inline groove is the character: it makes the letter look cut into a board rather than printed on it, which is why wide proportions suit short names. Because the groove sits inside the stroke, keep 34 pt before it stays open, and give each letter 8 mm of gap so the spurs do not touch. Longer phrases expose the widths and lose the signboard effect, and the vertical space of a groove narrows fast in vinyl.

Sign for a cocktail bar
The grooved saloon caps hold a short bar name, and the wide letters read from across a room at 70 mm on a painted board. The grooves also keep the sign from looking like a plain block.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 700 by 250 mm board: set the name at 70 mm in capitals, keep the groove at 4 mm wide, keep 26 mm of border so the spurs stay inside the frame, and set the street line in a 14 mm caps beneath.
Pre-production check
A groove painted under 2 mm closes and the letter turns solid; check the mask and keep every groove at 4 mm. Paint each groove with a fine liner brush.
Cover line for a theatre season
The carved caps set a season cover, and the wide letterforms hold a short play title at 64 pt on a coated cover. The inline groove also carries at a distance on a lit cover.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 cover: set the title at 64 pt in capitals, keep 24 mm of clear ground beneath for the spelled-out season line, and set that line at 9 pt in a narrow caps with 16 mm of space above.
Pre-production check
Long titles stack awkwardly in a wide capital face; check the proof and keep the title to two short words. Keep the season line small and plain.
Label for a small-batch spirit
The grooved letters give a bottle a period label, and the wide forms stay readable at 20 pt on a 50 mm panel in one metallic ink. The wide proportions also give the label period weight at small size.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 50 by 60 mm label: set the brand at 20 pt in capitals, keep the groove at 1 mm minimum, and set the volume in a 6 pt caps at the foot with 5 mm of clear ground. Keep the label tall and narrow.
Pre-production check
Metallic ink on a grooved letter pools in the channel; check the plate proof and keep the brand at 20 pt or above.
