Very heavy rounded marker letters

Le Petit Cochon

Le Petit Cochon is a very heavy rounded hand in berry pink on speckled cream: fat rounded strokes, letters of deliberately different sizes and a baseline that bounces so the phrase looks stacked by hand.

Visual anatomy & craft review

Letterform structure
of Le Petit Cochon.

The phrase is set in three parts, two words small above and one large below, and the face is a marker hand: the l and the p are tall with wide round bowls, the t is a short cross, the c and the o are nearly circular and the n of cochon closes with a small tail, while the letter sizes vary between words so a reader sees a hand that changed pressure rather than a scale setting. The stroke is thick and even with very round terminals, the counters are generous and the letters sit close but do not join, which is what keeps a fat face legible. The ground is a cream sheet with flecks of colour, and a pale illustrated pig fills the right side behind the lettering. Le Petit Cochon is a display hand for children's products, sweets packaging, cards and shop signage, and it needs short words and a large size.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Le Petit Cochon’s stroke geometry.

Birthday

Front of a children's card

A fat bouncy hand reads as friendly rather than formal, and the varying letter sizes do the job of an illustration on a small card.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print a 120 by 120 mm square card: set the greeting at 32 pt over two lines, keep 14 mm of clear ground beneath before the details at 9.5 pt, and hold 13 mm of margin on all four sides.

Pre-production check

Fat rounded letters at thirty-two points can close their counters; print one at the finished size and check the o and the e before the batch.

Birthday

Banner for a first birthday

The face carries a name right across a room, and the uneven letter sizes match the hand-made decorations a family party usually has.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print a 900 by 400 mm banner: set the name at 150 pt on one line, keep 30 mm of clear ground beneath before the date at 44 pt, and hold 26 mm of border on all four sides.

Pre-production check

Heavy letters on a fabric banner can merge when it stretches; print one section at the final size and check the gaps before the order.

Editorial & posters

Cover for a children's magazine

A rounded hand sets a playful tone on a cover, and the very heavy stroke holds at a small size where a thin script would disappear.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print a 210 by 280 mm cover: set the cover word at 76 pt on one line, keep 22 mm of clear ground beneath before the cover lines at 11 pt, and hold 20 mm of margin on all four sides.

Pre-production check

A fat face on newsprint spreads at the edges; print one cover on the intended stock and check the fitting before the run.
