Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Mexican.
Mexican is a folk-collage font duo in which the letters are filled with textile and papel-picado patterns, paired with a plain textured companion for long lines, and supplied as fonts plus PNG pattern sheets. The pattern fill is the design, so the letters need size to read as cloth, and the plain companion carries the text that the patterned cut would make illegible. It needs roughly 34 mm for the inner pattern to resolve, and it is best in two flat inks on white and cream, with the pattern layer as a spot colour rather than a four-colour build.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Mexican’s stroke geometry.
Fiesta poster, papel-picado banner and menu
A folk-collage duo reads as printed cloth rather than a modern fiesta graphic, which is what a street party wants on its patio. The patterned cut holds the poster at 120 mm while the plain companion sets the menu at 12 mm in the same two inks.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Poster A2, word 120 mm with 12 mm pattern clearance, details 36 mm, 20 mm margins. Banner flag 250 x 350 mm, word 90 mm, 25 mm margins. Menu 150 x 300 mm, header 44 mm, items 12 mm in the plain cut.
Pre-production check
Built as CMYK the pattern registers loosely and the cloth reads as speckled noise at 120 mm. Specify a true spot for the pattern layer, and proof one poster at 1:1 before the run.
Textile-maker identity, tag and bag print
A folk-pattern duo is the material a textile maker works in, so a tag in it reads as the craft rather than a graphic about it. The pattern holds at 24 mm on a swing tag, and the plain companion sets the care line at 7 pt in the same pass.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Swing tag 50 x 90 mm, word 20 mm with 5 mm pattern clearance, 4 mm hole and 8 mm clear. Bag print 200 x 250 mm, word 60 mm, 15 mm margins. Card 85 x 55 mm, word 16 mm, 5 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 50 x 90 mm swing tag at 20 mm turns the pattern into dirt and the tag reads as damaged. Raise the tag word to 28 mm or use the plain cut, and check one tag on the actual board before the batch.
Folk-party invite, cake topper and cup wrap
A patterned folk duo gives a birthday a printed-textile theme without a licensed graphic. The pattern holds at 40 mm on an invite, and the plain companion sets the details at 8 pt so they stay readable.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Invite A6, word 40 mm with 8 mm pattern clearance, details 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Topper 130 x 110 mm, word 44 mm with a 6 mm stick slot and 12 mm clear. Cup wrap 200 x 90 mm, word 20 mm, 12 mm from the rim.
Pre-production check
A cup wrap printed across the taper doubles the pattern at the seam and the cloth reads as a stripe. Keep the word inside the flat 60 mm centre band, and wrap one cup before the party.
