Letterform structure
of Happy Graduation.
Happy Graduation is a tall skinny farmhouse marker print: narrow letters, a level baseline, a blunt square-cut stroke and small lift gaps between letters, drawn upright rather than slanted. The condensation lets a long word stack inside a narrow card or a vertical banner where a normal-width marker face would wrap. The marker weight is heavy enough to hold a painted board at arm's length, and the lift gaps are the detail that tells a real hand-painted sign from a printed one. It needs roughly 26 mm for the narrow bowls to stay open, and it is best in one deep ink on cream and kraft, or white paint on a dark board.

Graduation party sign, photo backdrop and card
A tall farmhouse marker reads as a sign painted by the family rather than bought from a party shop, which is what a graduation celebration wants. The condensed letters fit a full name and year on one board at 100 mm, and one ink covers the sign, the backdrop and the card from the same artwork.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Sign 600 x 900 mm, word 100 mm with 10 mm lift clearance, year 60 mm, 40 mm margins. Backdrop 1500 x 2000 mm, word 250 mm, 60 mm edge allowance. Card A6, word 22 mm, details 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 250 mm backdrop letter painted on cloth wicks along the weave and the 1 mm lift gap closes into a smear. Use a tight-weave cloth or a vinyl cut, and print one metre of the backdrop before the full run.
December graduate card, ornament tag and banner
A plain tall marker suits a winter graduation because the message carries the occasion and the lettering stays quiet. The condensed stroke stacks a long congratulation inside a card at 20 mm, and one dark ink prints the card, the tag and the banner on the same cream stock.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Card 105 x 148 mm, greeting 20 mm, message 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Ornament tag 60 x 60 mm, word 10 mm with a 4 mm hole and 6 mm clear. Banner 1200 x 300 mm, word 120 mm, 25 mm safe edge.
Pre-production check
A 60 mm ornament tag at 10 mm closes the lift gaps and the word prints as one grey bar. Raise the tag word to 14 mm or shorten it to two letters, and check one tag on the actual card stock.
Leavers' display, yearbook cover and name plaque
A marker print reads as a hand-lettered leavers' board, which is what a final-year corridor display should look like. The tall letters let a whole class list fit down a narrow panel, and the blunt stroke cuts cleanly from card at 140 mm without fragile detail.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Display 900 x 1200 mm, header 140 mm, names 40 mm, 30 mm margins. Yearbook cover 170 x 240 mm, title 40 pt, 15 mm margins. Name plaque 120 x 40 mm, name 14 mm, 4 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Hand-cut card letters at 140 mm snap at the narrow waist of the S during mounting and the display sags. Cut the header from 3 mm board or mount on a rail, and assemble one panel before the class set.
