Swelling school-themed capitals mixing pencil, apple, paper and grid surfaces
Groovy School
Groovy School draws every capital as a piece of classroom stationery — a notebook page, an apple, a ruler, a pencil — then adds a face, a bow or a patch to most of them, plus a set of matching decoration files.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Groovy School.
GROOVY over SCHOOL fills the card inside a wobbly hand-drawn frame on a tiled ground, and each letter is a different object: the G is a yellow pencil with a bitten end, the R is a notebook page with rules, the O is a teal composition book, the Y wears a graduation cap. Around them stand cartoon characters — an apple with glasses, a pair of scissors, a blue pot, a pencil with a face — and the palette is warm coral, mustard, teal and cream, close to a 1970s schoolroom. Two captions above and below name the set and list the formats, including twenty decoration files. The construction is a colour font plus a sticker pack, which is what these bundles are for: a teacher or a seller decorates a page without drawing anything.

Cover for a back-to-school folder
The objects in the letters do the illustrating, so a folder cover needs no stock image, and the warm retro palette separates it from the usual primary-colour look.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 folder cover: set the title at 54 pt across two rows, keep 18 mm of clear ground between the rows, and hold 20 mm of border so the frame sits inside the trim.
Pre-production check
Figures inside the letters close up below 26 pt; print one cover at the finished size and check the apple before the set.
Header for a classroom welcome board
The set gives a welcome board a finished look in one line of type, and the characters can be placed around it as the decorations are already in the pack.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 600 by 400 mm board: set the header at 90 pt across two rows, keep 26 mm of clear ground beneath before the class name at 16 pt, and hold 24 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
Sticker characters are cut at a different tolerance from type; print one board and trim the figures before the run.
Label for a teacher's supply shop
The lettering tells a customer the shop is about school before the stock is seen, and the retro palette suits packaging that will sit on a shelf beside plain boxes.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 45 mm label: set the shop name at 15 pt on one row, keep 5 mm of clear ground beneath before the street at 4.5 pt, and hold 4 mm from the outline to the die line.
Pre-production check
Object letters lose their identity on a small label; print one label on the real stock and check the pencil before the order.
