Broad clean slabs with rounded bowls and small flared joins
Famous School
Famous School shows white FAMOUS above yellow SCHOOL on dark charcoal, where the O bowls are broad and rounded, the M carries a deep centre, and short sturdy slab ends give the title a friendly school-sign weight with almost no variation between the two rows.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Famous School.
The strokes stay heavy and even, the bowls stay broad, the slabs stay short and square and the two rows keep identical weight. That plainness is the character: the sample reads as a painted school sign rather than a decorated display face, which is why the small chalk drawings around the margins sit outside the type block. Those drawings are separate illustrations, not glyphs. Keep 40 pt so the slab ends stay distinct and check the deep M centre against a narrow column before setting a long name.

Back print for a school shirt
The heavy slabs hold a school name across a shirt back, and the even weight survives a single-colour transfer without losing the slab ends.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 280 mm back panel: set the school name at 64 mm on one row, keep 14 mm between letters so the slab ends stay separate, and keep 20 mm of margin from each side seam.
Pre-production check
Slab ends merge under a heat press; check a transfer proof and keep the spacing at 12 mm or more.
Sign for a school entrance
The painted-sign weight reads from a path and the broad bowls keep a long institution name legible at forty paces on a wet morning.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 700 by 300 mm panel: set the school name at 56 mm on one row, keep 24 mm of clear ground beneath before the motto at 15 pt, and keep 28 mm of border so the broad bowls are not trimmed.
Pre-production check
The deep M centre fills at painted size; check the mask artwork and keep the counters at 8 mm.
Sign for a summer camp
The friendly slab weight suits a camp sign, where the lettering has to look sturdy rather than official and read across a field.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 900 by 400 mm board: set the camp name at 70 mm across two rows with 26 mm between baselines, keep 30 mm of clear ground beneath before the dates at 18 pt, and keep 34 mm of border.
Pre-production check
Chalk-style surroundings are separate art; check the artwork file before promising them with the type.

Heavy compact mixed-case slabs with rounded bowls and blunt joins
Cartton Style Bold
Cartton Style Bold sets a heavy slab in black on white, its serifs squared, its bowls wide and its spacing tight, so two stacked words read as a solid block of ink.

Jolly Tales
Jolly Tales places white capitals in two lively rows on black, where the J hooks broadly, the Y arms and several top bars tilt and the feet sit at slightly different angles, so rounded joins soften the otherwise substantial upright strokes.
