Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Grungejersey Regular.
Grungejersey Regular is an athletic varsity slab with an inline border and a distressed surface: thick block letters, a fine rule drawn inside the contour, and a worn edge that chips the outer line at irregular intervals. The inline is the structure, so the distressed chips must not cross it or the letter breaks. It needs roughly 32 mm for the inline rule to read as a separate line, and it is best in one dark ink on heather grey or cream, and it should never be reversed at small sizes.

Team jersey print, gym banner and sports-day programme
A distressed inline varsity slab is the lettering already printed on a school jersey, so a gym banner in it belongs in the hall rather than looking bought. The inline gives the team name depth at 80 mm, and one ink prints the banner and the programme from the same separation.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Jersey print 280 x 220 mm, word 70 mm with 8 mm inline clearance, 20 mm margins. Gym banner 1800 x 600 mm, word 180 mm, 40 mm safe edge. Programme A5, cover title 44 pt, 12 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Screen printed on a jersey at 70 mm the 0.9 mm inline fills with plastisol after two washes and the name prints as a solid slab. Ask for a 1.5 mm inline or use a single-outline cut, and wash one sample before the order.
Sportswear label, cap mark and shop decal
A grunged inline slab reads as a sportswear label from an old catalogue rather than a new streetwear brand, which is what a small maker wants on a cap. The inline gives the mark structure at 22 mm on a woven label, and one ink prints the decal and the card without a second plate.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Woven label 50 x 25 mm, word 10 mm, 2 mm margin. Cap mark 60 mm wide, word 18 mm, 5 mm margin. Shop decal 600 x 300 mm, word 90 mm with 10 mm inline clearance, 20 mm edge clearance.
Pre-production check
A 50 x 25 mm woven label at 10 mm cannot hold the inline and the word stitches as a solid bar with a fuzzy edge. Use a printed label or drop the inline below 30 mm, and approve one sample before the run.
Summer-league shirt, field banner and fixture card
A distressed varsity slab reads as a league that has been running for years, which is what a summer competition wants on its field banner. The heavy stems hold at 160 mm in sunlight, and one ink prints the banner, the shirt and the fixture card in a single order.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Field banner 2000 x 600 mm, word 160 mm with 12 mm inline clearance, 40 mm safe edge. Shirt back 300 x 400 mm, word 90 mm, 20 mm margins. Fixture card 148 x 105 mm, header 24 mm, fixtures 9 mm.
Pre-production check
A 148 x 105 mm fixture card at 9 mm loses the inline and the grunge turns into speckle beside the dates. Keep the face to the banner and shirt, set the card in a plain slab, and print one card before the batch.
