Hollow broad capitals with triangular spines and small solid spot clusters
Dino Cirus displays multicoloured outlined capitals in two rows, where small triangular spines project from the upper and side edges, solid spot clusters follow the inner curves and the hollow bodies keep a broad friendly silhouette across both rows.

Visual anatomy & craft review
The bodies stay hollow and broad, the spines break the outline, the spots sit inside the bowls and the colour changes per letter. That spine is the character: the word reads as a friendly dinosaur crest rather than a plain outline font, which is why the sample keeps two rows on a bright ground. Confirm the spike and spot mapping and whether colour effects are supplied, keep 40 pt before the spots merge and check the smallest spines in a proof.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Dino Cirus’s stroke geometry.
The playful hollow caps suit a child's card, and the broad bodies hold a name at 34 pt on an A6 sheet, where the spines stay distinct at reading size.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A6 card: set the name at 34 pt on one row, keep 16 mm of clear ground beneath before the details at 11 pt, and keep the colour on the outline only so the hollow body stays light.
Pre-production check
Spines under 2 mm read as damage; check the card proof and keep the name at 30 pt or above.
The friendly forms read across a room, and the hollow bodies hold a first name at 50 mm on a laminated panel, where the spot clusters stay visible at a distance.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Laminate a 400 by 250 mm panel: set the name at 50 mm on one row, keep 20 mm of clear ground beneath before the smaller line at 14 pt, and keep 20 mm of margin so the spines are not trimmed.
Pre-production check
Cut spines chip along a laminate edge; check the trimmed sample and keep 18 mm of clear margin all round the panel.
The hollow caps give a tag character, and the outline holds a short name at 24 pt on a 40 by 70 mm tag, where the spots fit inside the narrow body.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 40 by 70 mm tag: set the name at 24 pt on one row, keep 10 mm of clear ground beneath for the lower spines, and keep 6 mm to the punch hole so the tag holds.
Pre-production check
Spot clusters may need a separate colour file; check the listing before planning two inks.
Technical & licence verification
Confirm included OTF/TTF/WOFF formats, full glyph tables and licence coverage on the live store page before batch production.
