Hollow irregular mixed case with dinosaur-like spikes and rounded footprint-like spots
Dinosaur draws hollow letters with an unsteady hand, gives several of them spikes along the top and fills the neighbours with round footprint spots, so a word looks assembled by a child who likes big reptiles.

Visual anatomy & craft review
DINOSAUR runs in mixed-case caps, each letter outlined in a different colour with a dotted or dashed inner line, the I carrying a checkered spine and raised spikes sitting on the S and the R. The baseline wobbles, the widths vary and small foot-dot clusters are scattered in the gaps, while a row of cartoon dinosaurs stands under the word on a white ground. The badge above names the style and the caption below says decorative. Because the spikes and spots attach to particular letters, the effect changes with the word, and the hollow interior means the fill stays empty for colouring, cutting or printing on a coloured stock.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Dinosaur’s stroke geometry.
The spikes and footprints set the theme before a parent writes a word, and the hollow letters leave space for a child to colour the card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 105 by 148 mm invitation: set the name at 32 pt on one row, keep 14 mm of clear ground beneath before the address at 9 pt, and keep 12 mm of margin so the spikes stay inside the card edge.
Pre-production check
Inner dots close under 20 pt; check the card proof and keep the heading at 26 pt or above.
The hollow shapes take a coloured ground and stay readable as named labels, and the playful spikes suit a room of small children.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 25 mm tray label: set the name at 16 pt on one row, keep 4 mm of clear ground beneath, and keep 4 mm of margin so the spikes are not cut off at the corners.
Pre-production check
Spikes reach above the cap height; check the artwork before laying labels out edge to edge.
The uneven lettering signals a children's trail rather than an exhibit caption, and the open shapes stay legible on a low sign at knee height.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 420 by 297 mm panel: set the trail title at 60 pt across one row, keep 22 mm of clear ground beneath before the first step at 14 pt, and keep 20 mm of border around the frame.
Pre-production check
Footprints are scattered in the sample; check the glyph set before promising them in a printed design.
Technical & licence verification
Confirm included OTF/TTF/WOFF formats, full glyph tables and licence coverage on the live store page before batch production.
