Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Jollybe.
Jollybe is a handmade block display built from five related sets: a chunky solid, an inline, a shadow, a doodle and a holiday ornament variant, all drawn on the same wonky block skeleton. The five styles stack into one assembled word, which means each layer needs identical metrics and clear vertical room. It needs roughly 30 mm for the inline and shadow layers to separate, and it is best in two inks on cream or one festive palette on white.

Holiday card, layered gift tag and sweet-box wrap
A handmade block with an inline and a shadow lets one greeting carry depth without an illustration, which is what a small shop's Christmas card needs. The doodle set supplies the ornament accent, and the five styles share metrics so the card, the tag and the box print from one artwork file.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Card 105 x 148 mm, greeting 24 mm in three stacked styles, message 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Tag 50 x 90 mm, word 12 mm with a 5 mm hole and 8 mm clear. Box wrap 200 x 250 mm, word 20 mm, 15 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Stacking the shadow layer behind the solid at 12 mm on the tag overlaps the two by 1 mm and the word reads as a smudge. Keep stacked layers at 18 mm and above, and print one tag before the batch.
Party invite, banner bunting and cupcake topper
A wonky handmade block reads as a party made at home rather than bought, which is what a family birthday wants on the invite. The inline set gives the banner a candy-striped look at 80 mm, and the doodle accents fill the card corners without extra artwork.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Invite A6, word 34 mm in one style, details 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Bunting flag 200 x 250 mm, word 80 mm, 20 mm margins. Topper 100 x 90 mm, word 30 mm with a 6 mm stick slot and 8 mm clear.
Pre-production check
A 100 mm topper cut from the shadow style leaves a 2 mm web at the counter and the card snaps on the stick. Cut toppers from the solid style only, and test one topper on a real stick before the set.
Classroom display, name plaque and sticker sheet
A handmade block is the alphabet a teacher would draw herself, so a wall display in it looks classroom-made rather than printed by a supplier. The solid style cuts cleanly at 120 mm for card letters, and the inline keeps the pupil names readable from the back row at 14 mm.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Display 1200 x 400 mm, letters 180 mm with 12 mm bridges, 20 mm margins. Name plaque 120 x 40 mm, name 14 mm, 4 mm margins. Sticker 45 mm round, word 8 mm, 3 mm die margin.
Pre-production check
A 45 mm sticker at 8 mm loses the inline gap entirely and the word fills to a black disc. Use the solid style on stickers and keep the inline for the display only, then print one sheet before the class set.
