Visual anatomy & craft review

Letterform structure
of Chunky Plump.

Chunky Plump is an inflated retro-groovy display with a groovy waist pinch, heavy black comic outlines and an extruded 3D drop shadow baked into the glyph, so a word reads as a screen-printed poster sticker rather than a flat letter. The extrusion always falls to one side, which fixes the light direction and means the word cannot be flipped without looking wrong. It needs roughly 32 mm for the extrusion to read as depth, and it is best in peach or pink with a black shadow on a pale grid ground.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Chunky Plump’s stroke geometry.

Brand & packaging

Retro packaging, sticker pack and merch print

Inflated groovy letters with an extruded shadow read as a 1970s packaging panel, which is what a small food brand borrows. The baked shadow gives depth in a single print pass, and the heavy outline survives a screen print on a garment.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Box 200 x 150 x 80 mm, word 44 mm on the lid, 25 mm margins. Sticker 80 x 50 mm, word 16 mm, 3 mm die margin. Merch print 280 x 160 mm, word 60 mm, 40 mm margins.

Pre-production check

A screen print at 60 mm bridges the 1 mm gap between the letter and its extrusion and the word fuses into a solid mass. Keep the gap at 1.5 mm or raise the print to 75 mm, and approve a strike-off.

Birthday

Groovy party invite, banner and cup wrap

Inflated retro lettering reads as a decade-themed party, which is what a milestone birthday is. The extruded shadow cuts cleanly at 50 mm with wide bridges, and one bright ink on white covers the whole set.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Invite A6, word 40 mm, details 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Banner 900 x 300 mm, word 140 mm, 40 mm margins and 20 mm clear of each eyelet. Cup wrap 200 x 90 mm, word 20 mm, 10 mm from the rim.

Pre-production check

A cup wrap crosses a taper and the extrusion slides out of alignment at the seam, so the word looks doubled. Keep the word inside the flat 60 mm centre band, and check one wrapped cup before the party.

Spring

Spring-fair poster, market sign and tote print

Retro groovy bubbles read as a community fair rather than a corporate event, which is what a spring market wants on a poster. The heavy shadow holds at 260 mm in one colour, and the extruded depth gives the poster presence without a photograph.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Poster A2, word 260 mm, details 22/28 pt, 30 mm margins and 20 mm trim. Sign 900 x 400 mm, word 160 mm, 60 mm margins. Tote print 300 x 300 mm, word 70 mm, 60 mm margins.

Pre-production check

A tote print on canvas loses the 1 mm extrusion gap and the shadow merges into the letter. Keep the gap at 2 mm for canvas, and check one sewn tote before the order.
