Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Celapha Bakhars.
Celapha Bakhars is a street-marker display in flat caps with chisel tips, slightly overlapping strokes and angled legs, so a word reads as a poster painted fast with a wide marker. The overlap is deliberate and gives the face its energy, while the flat chisel ends keep it readable at 24 mm. It needs roughly 28 mm for the chisel edges to read, and it is best in white on a dark ground or in one bright ink on a pale one.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Celapha Bakhars’s stroke geometry.
Streetwear print, sticker pack and shop vinyl
Flat chisel marker caps read as a brand painted on a shop shutter, which is what a small streetwear label wants. The overlapping strokes hold at 60 mm in plastisol, and one ink keeps the print cheap.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Tee print 280 x 160 mm, word 60 mm, 40 mm margins. Sticker 90 x 60 mm, word 18 mm, 3 mm die margin. Window vinyl 900 x 300 mm, word 150 mm, 60 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A vinyl cut at 150 mm loses the chisel kick under 0.5 mm and the word arrives with flat ends. Keep the kicks at 1.5 mm on cut artwork, and weed one window word before the run.
Street-culture cover, gig flyer and feature opener
Marker caps read as a flyer put up around the city, which is what a street-culture title uses on a cover. The overlapping strokes give the headline texture in one ink, and the chisel ends hold at 90 pt on cheap stock.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Cover 148 x 210 mm, title 60 mm, cover lines 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Opener 420 x 297 mm, headline 110 mm, body 9/13 pt. Flyer A5, title 60 mm, lineup 8/11 pt.
Pre-production check
A photocopied zine at 80 percent reduction erodes the chisel edges into dots and the title looks faded. Print at 100 percent, and check one reduced spread before the run.
Street-party poster, stage sign and wristband
Marker caps read as a neighbourhood party bill, which is what a summer block event prints. The heavy strokes hold at 260 mm in one ink, and the chisel ends stay legible on a 25 mm wristband.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Poster A2, word 260 mm, times 22/28 pt, 30 mm margins and 20 mm trim. Stage sign 1200 x 500 mm, word 200 mm, 80 mm margins. Wristband 250 x 25 mm, word 8 mm, 4 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A wristband at 8 mm reduces the overlapping strokes into a solid bar and the act name smears. Use the plain caps for small formats, and check one printed band on a wrist before the gate.
