Heavy compact mixed-case slabs with rounded bowls and blunt joins
Cartton Style Bold
Cartton Style Bold sets a heavy slab in black on white, its serifs squared, its bowls wide and its spacing tight, so two stacked words read as a solid block of ink.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Cartton Style Bold.
The name fills the card in two rows, the C and the a drawing broad curves and the t carrying a flat bar, with the weight heavy enough that the counters become small slots. Serifs are slabs rather than brackets, so the letters look built from rectangles, and the tight spacing makes the block read as a unit. A tracked caption in a ruled box sits below, and light botanical sketches sit at the edges of the page. The face is a headline weight with no contrast, which makes it strong at poster size and muddy in a paragraph or at small sizes.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Cartton Style Bold’s stroke geometry.
Headline for a business feature
The block weight holds a headline over a full-bleed photograph, and the squared serifs stay crisp in newsprint where brackets would clog.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 by 280 mm page: set the headline at 60 pt across two lines, keep 18 mm of clear ground beneath before the standfirst at 10 pt, and keep 16 mm of margin from the text block on each side.
Pre-production check
Heavy coverage sets off on uncoated stock; check the press proof before the issue is signed.
Pack for a neighbourhood bakery
The slab weight gives a box a confident front, and a short product name fits the wide block on a narrow carton face beside a barcode.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 90 by 140 mm carton face: set the product at 24 pt on one row, keep 11 mm of clear ground beneath before the weight at 7 pt, and keep 8 mm to the fold so the serifs are not cut.
Pre-production check
Tight spacing merges on a fold; check the layout at final size before the print run. Have the printer send a physical sample first.
Cover for a school yearbook
The block letters read on a shelf of yearbooks, and the plain shapes stay legible when the cover is reproduced small in a catalogue.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 cover: set the title at 48 pt across two rows, keep 18 mm of clear ground beneath before the year at 14 pt, and keep 20 mm of margin from the trim edge.
Pre-production check
Small counters close in a cheap print; check a proof before the yearbook order. Request a proof on the actual stock before signing off.
