Very heavy chunky capitals with flat joins and tiny counters
Custardo
Custardo is a very heavy capital alphabet in which the strokes are almost as wide as the letters, the joins flatten and the counters close to small slots, so a short word reads as a solid block of ink.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Custardo.
The C closes almost into a ring, the U fills its bowl to a narrow slot, the S flattens its spine, the T carries a short arm on a fat stem and the A pinches its apex, all at the heaviest weight in the sample with blunt, slightly hand-cut corners. The near-closed counters are the character: they turn a word into a shape first and a word second, which is why the sample sets one short word at poster size and nothing else. Because the strokes are so wide, the face needs tracking rather than kerning, and it collapses under 24 pt where the slots fill in. It prints in one colour with no outline at all. The cream ground, the small orange caption and the studio credit are presentation; the black display word is the face.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Custardo’s stroke geometry.
Stamp for a bakery box
The solid block of a short word stamps evenly in one pass, and the blunt corners keep the impression from breaking at 30 mm.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Order a 45 mm stamp: set the word at 30 mm, add 1.5 mm of space between letters so the rubber has walls, and keep 4 mm of clear mount around the block for the handle collar.
Pre-production check
Counters that almost close will fill with ink on a rubber stamp; check a test impression and open the tracking before cutting the die.
Spot title for a food spread
The block weight holds a single word against a photograph, and the flat joins keep the edge crisp at 72 pt over a busy image.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 spread: set the word at 72 pt in one flat colour, place it over the quieter third of the photograph, and keep a 10 mm clear band under it for the caption.
Pre-production check
A heavy word over a busy photograph disappears at the edges; check the proof and move the word to the darker side rather than adding an outline.
Board for a pop-up ice cream stand
The chunky shapes read from the pavement, and the solid letterforms survive being mounted on foam board and cut out by hand at 110 mm.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 600 by 400 mm board: set the word at 110 mm, keep 25 mm of border, and mount on 5 mm foam board with the cut following the outer edge of the ink.
Pre-production check
A hand-cut board edge wanders along a fat contour; check the mounted board and cut with a steel rule rather than by eye.
