Original specimen by Art cafe

Maple-leaf cutout 70s autumn display

Groovy Autumn

Groovy Autumn blends plump 1970s retro letterforms with crisp maple-leaf cutouts set into the counters, so a fall banner reads as seasonal without a separate illustration beside it.

Visual anatomy & craft review

Letterform structure
of Groovy Autumn.

The bodies stay plump and round, the leaf shapes cut cleanly through the middle of the letters and the curves carry the bell-bottom weight of the period. The inlaid leaf is the character: the season lives inside the letterform rather than behind it, which is why the sample needs no other artwork. Cutouts this fine need room, so check every leaf at the intended size and keep 34 pt before the vein details close up. The leaf veins are finer than the outline, so they close first: below about 34 pt the leaf reads as a plain blob, and on vinyl the inlay needs a 3 mm bridge to survive weeding.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Groovy Autumn’s stroke geometry.

Autumn

Banner for a fall market

The leaf cutouts make a market banner instantly seasonal, and the plump letters read at 60 pt across a printed board, where every leaf counter keeps its shape at distance.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print a 600 by 300 mm banner: set the market name at 60 pt on one row, keep 26 mm of clear ground beneath, and keep 22 mm of border so no leaf cutout touches the edge.

Pre-production check

Leaf counters printed at 30 pt close into blobs; check the proof and keep the name at 48 pt or above.

Thank you

Card for a harvest supper

The leaf lettering suits a harvest card, and the round bodies hold a short greeting at 30 pt on an A6 sheet, so the season arrives without a separate illustration.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print an A6 card: set the greeting at 30 pt across the upper half, keep 16 mm of clear ground beneath before the date at 11 pt, and keep the leaves on a plain field.

Pre-production check

Leaves set over a photographed background disappear; check the card and keep the lettering on flat colour.

Classroom & school

Poster for an autumn fair

The seasonal lettering suits a school poster, and the heavy forms hold a two-word title at 46 pt on an A3 sheet, where the leaf shapes stay crisp from across a hall.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print an A3 poster: set the title at 46 pt on one row, keep 22 mm beneath before the details at 14 pt, and keep 20 mm of margin so the outer curves stay intact.

Pre-production check

Two leaf-filled rows stacked compete for attention; check the poster and keep the second line in a plain sans.
