Heavy rough capitals with flared feet and speckled inner texture
Hazel
Hazel shows substantial black capitals on cream paper above a second character sample: broad flared feet, slightly uneven outlines and scattered pale speckles give the faces a worn printed appearance, and the Q closes with a small curled tail.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Hazel.
The stems stay heavy, the feet flare outward, the outlines wander slightly and pale speckles break the fill without destroying it. The flared foot is the character: the letters look stamped rather than drawn, which is why the sample sets a short word with a second character row beneath. Because the speckles are fine, keep 30 pt before they read as texture, and check the Q tail in any new word since it extends below the baseline. The Q tail is the detail that runs below the baseline, so allow 14 mm under the row, and the fine speckles read as dirt rather than texture below about 30 pt.

Label for a print studio
The stamped caps suit a studio label, and the flared feet stay solid at 22 pt on a 60 mm panel in one ink. The stamped foot also keeps a label from looking printed flat.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 40 mm label: set the studio name at 22 pt, keep the speckles at 0.5 mm, and set the town in a 6 pt caps beneath with 5 mm of clear ground. Keep the label square.
Pre-production check
Speckles printed at 16 pt fill into the counter; check the plate proof and keep the name at 20 pt or above. Ask for a plate proof of the label.
Card for a printed note
The worn capitals give a note card weight, and the even stems hold a short line at 26 pt on an A6 sheet. The worn outline also keeps a note card warm.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A6 card: set the line at 26 pt, keep 14 mm of clear ground beneath for the Q tail, and leave the lower half blank for a written message. Keep the card flat under the line.
Pre-production check
A curled tail printed into the writing area is smudged; check the card and keep 12 mm of white beneath it. Keep the Q tail off the writing area.
Title for a craft feature
The stamped look sets a making feature, and the flared feet give a two-word title its base at 52 pt across a spread. The flared feet also give a feature title its base.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 mm spread: set the title at 52 pt on one row, keep 18 mm of clear ground beneath before the standfirst at 10 pt, and keep the block on the upper third. Keep the standfirst on the column.
Pre-production check
A worn outline printed over a photograph loses its edge; check the page and set the title on the plain margin.
