Ragged slanted brush lettering with dry edges and uneven pressure
Cindigo Trades
Cindigo Trades is expressive brush lettering that leans hard to the right, its strokes ragged at the edges and uneven in pressure, so the words look sprayed or painted rather than drawn.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Cindigo Trades.
The capital C begins with a thin dry entry that widens into a heavy crescent, and the letters after it keep the same forward lean without straightening: the N, D, I, G and O each lift off at the top and land heavy at the base, so the word appears to be moving. Edges are irregular throughout, some strokes splitting into two lines where the brush ran dry, and the joins break rather than connect, which is what gives the phrase its shout. The second line repeats the construction at the same angle, and the diagonal of the first line's last letter carries the eye into the second. Weight varies constantly, from thin at the tops to heavy in the bodies. The monochrome photograph, the acid green ink and the tracked caption are presentation; the lettering is the two words.

Mark for a print and zine shop
Ragged brush lettering signals a shop that deals in printed matter made in small runs, and the uneven edges read honestly when the mark is reproduced as a stamp.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the shop name at 22 cm on the window, keep the services in a narrow grotesque at 3 cm, and hold 12 cm of clearance so the trailing flicks stay on the glass.
Pre-production check
Stamped lettering on kraft loses the dry breaks at small sizes; test a 40 mm stamp impression and simplify the driest edges if the mark becomes a smear.
Cover line for a music feature
A ragged slanted brush gives a music cover energy without a photograph of a band, and the varying pressure keeps the line from looking like a digital effect.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the cover line at 80 pt on an A4 cover, keep the coverlines in a bold condensed at 11 pt in the lower band, and leave the top third clear so the dry entries read against plain colour.
Pre-production check
A thin dry entry under 0.2 mm will disappear in offset; check the pull at final size and thicken the entries rather than reducing the size.
Sign for an informal celebration
Brush lettering on a board reads as painted on the day rather than ordered in advance, which is the tone a relaxed celebration wants, and the heavy bodies hold up at a distance.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the names at 15 cm on a 700 by 500 mm board, keep the date in the same face at 4 cm beneath, and hold 10 cm on each side so the trailing flicks stay inside the frame.
Pre-production check
A dry brush edge on rough timber can break apart; seal and sand the board and check the first pass before finishing the lettering.
