Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Chunky Dinosaur.
Chunky Dinosaur is a bouncy outlined kids display in pastel: fat rounded letters with a thick soft outline, a tilt that rises and falls across the word and a small spike or plate on some caps that hints at a back ridge. The tilt grows the word vertically and the outline doubles its footprint, closing the counters early. It needs roughly 30 mm for the outline and the ridge to read, and it is best in two pastel inks on white, or one ink plus a knocked-out outline on coloured card.

Dino-party invite, cake topper and cup wrap
A chunky outlined display announces a dinosaur theme inside the lettering, so no licensed character is needed. The ridge holds at 44 mm on a topper, and two pastels print the invite and the wraps as one set.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Invite A6, word 40 mm with 8 mm outline clearance, details 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Topper 130 x 110 mm, word 44 mm with a 6 mm stick slot and 12 mm clear. Cup wrap 200 x 90 mm, word 20 mm, 12 mm from the rim.
Pre-production check
A 130 mm topper cut through the ridge leaves a 1 mm plate island that falls out. Cut toppers to the outer silhouette, and test one before the party.
Classroom display, reward sticker and name card
A chunky outlined display reads as a celebration award rather than a worksheet heading, which is what a primary wall wants. The outline holds at 140 mm on a display, and two pastels print the display and the stickers in one pass.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Display 1200 x 400 mm, letters 160 mm with 12 mm outline clearance, 20 mm margins. Reward sticker 50 mm round, word 10 mm, 3 mm die margin. Name card 105 x 75 mm, name 18 mm, 5 mm margins.
Pre-production check
At 18 mm on a name card the tilt closes the counters and the name reads as a pastel bar after a term of handling. Raise cards to 24 mm and laminate them, and make one before the class set.
Spring-fair poster, stall card and bag label
A pastel outlined display reads as a hand-drawn spring poster rather than a modern flyer, which is what a small fair wants at the gate. The outline holds at 90 mm, and two pastels print the poster and the stall cards in one pass.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Poster A3, word 90 mm with 12 mm outline clearance, details 28 mm, 18 mm margins. Stall card 105 x 75 mm, word 20 mm, 5 mm margins. Bag label 90 x 50 mm, word 16 mm, 5 mm margins.
Pre-production check
On a 90 x 50 mm bag label at 16 mm the outline merges with the pastel fill and the word reads as a smear. Raise the label word to 22 mm, and print one label before the batch.
