Whimsical separate rounded letters with a fine outline and uneven baseline
Ice Cream Shop
Ice Cream Shop is a whimsical sans-style lettering set in which the letters stand apart, the outlines stay fine and the baseline drifts slightly, so a phrase reads as something drawn on a menu board.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Ice Cream Shop.
The I is a plain bar with a rounded cap, the c opens as a wide crescent, the e closes a small bowl and the r keeps a bent arm, all at a light-to-medium weight drawn as a fine contour rather than a solid. The drift is deliberate: letters sit a little higher or lower as the word runs, which is what makes the face read as hand-drawn at 40 pt. Because the contour is fine, the face wants a smooth stock and 18 pt minimum, and it works best on kraft or chalk grounds where the outline carries. The sample colours each letter, which the even weight allows. The photograph, the pastel inks, the sprinkles and the small script caption are presentation; the lettering is the two words.

Menu board for a dessert shop
The drifting baseline and fine contour read as hand-drawn on a printed board, which is exactly the register a dessert counter wants at 30 mm.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 700 by 400 mm board: set the item list at 30 mm with 40 mm leading, keep each word on one line so the drift stays readable, and leave 6 cm of border so the fine contour is not lost against the frame.
Pre-production check
A drifting baseline in a list looks like a printing error; check the board at distance and keep the drift to a maximum of 2 mm per word.
Sticker for an ice cream van
The outline letters read on a van window at 15 cm and survive a vinyl cut, which is what a small business needs from its marking.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Cut a 400 by 200 mm vinyl decal: set the shop name at 15 cm, keep the contour at 4 mm minimum for the blade, and leave 5 cm from the glass edge so the fine lines are not trimmed by the rubber seal.
Pre-production check
A fine outline under 3 mm tears when weeded; check the cut file at full size and thicken the contour rather than the letters.
Label for a scoop-shop pint
The loose lettering fits a lid sticker and gives a mass-produced tub a hand-finished look at 14 pt on a busy chiller shelf.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 55 mm lid sticker: set the flavour at 14 pt, set the dairy line in a 5 pt sans beneath, and keep 5 mm inside the die so the fine contour stays whole when the sticker is applied to a curved lid.
Pre-production check
A lid sticker applied by hand sits slightly off-centre; check five tubs and keep the type block inside 70 percent of the sticker width.
