Playful mixed-case shapes with a heart tittle and inflated rounded forms
Cuties
Cuties is a playful display alphabet in mixed case whose letters are drawn as fat rounded shapes with a small heart tittle, so a word reads as a row of soft balloons rather than written letters.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Cuties.
The capital C is a thick crescent that opens wide, the u keeps a fat bowl with a blunt right stem, the t is short with a rounded crossbar, the i is a simple stem topped with a heart, the e closes into a spiral, and the s finishes with two heavy curves. Every letter is built from the same inflated volume: strokes are broad, corners are fully rounded, and there is no contrast at all between thick and thin, which is what makes the shapes read as objects rather than letterforms. The x-height is large relative to the ascenders, so a word looks almost circular in silhouette. The letter spacing is generous, and the whole word sits on a white rounded plate in the sample. The pastel colours, the sparkles and the small captions are presentation; the typeface is the word.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Cuties’s stroke geometry.
Cake topper for a small child's party
The inflated rounded shapes cut cleanly at topper scale and stay readable when the cake is on a table with other decoration, and the heart tittle gives the name a single charming detail.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the name at 50 mm tall on a 130 mm topper, keep the age in the same face at 24 mm, and leave 6 mm of material around the heart so the cutter does not snap it off.
Pre-production check
A 4 mm heart tittle fails in acrylic and tears in card; check the vector at full size and thicken the heart before the file is sent to the cutter.
Sticker set for a classroom exchange
Soft inflated letters with a heart read warmly to children, and the generous spacing keeps a name legible on a sticker small enough for a card exchange.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the name at 18 pt on a 50 mm round sticker, keep the class name in a 6 pt sans, and leave 6 mm inside the die so the rounded letters never follow the cut edge.
Pre-production check
Round dies cut through descenders; check the artwork against the die and raise the baseline if any letter crosses the cut line.
Packaging for a children's snack
The inflated forms carry the product category on a box front without an illustration, and the even volume prints cleanly in one or two colours.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the brand at 24 pt on a 90 by 140 mm box face, keep the flavour in the same face at 12 pt, and leave 8 mm at the base so the box's fold does not run through a letter.
Pre-production check
Carton board folds can crack a heavy shape across the fold; check the die line against the artwork and move the lettering clear of the crease.
