Visual anatomy & craft review

Letterform structure
of Nacho Fiesta.

Nacho Fiesta is an inline-dotted Western and Mexican cantina Tuscan slab serif: heavy unbracketed slabs that split into a fork, a line of round dots running down the middle of each stem instead of a solid inline and a small spur rising from some shoulders. The dotted inline is the design and it merges into a line as soon as the face is reduced. It needs roughly 32 mm for the dot pitch and the fork to read, and it is best in two warm inks on cream, or one ink plus paper where the dots print as round knockouts.

Brand & packaging

Cantina identity, board and card

A dotted Tuscan slab reads as a painted cantina board rather than a corporate logo. The dot pitch holds at 60 mm on a board, and two warm inks print the board and the cards in one order.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Board 600 x 900 mm, word 100 mm with 12 mm dot clearance, items 26 mm, 30 mm margins. Card 85 x 55 mm, word 20 mm, 5 mm margins. Sign 900 x 400 mm, word 120 mm, 25 mm margins.

Pre-production check

On an 85 x 55 mm card the dots merge into a solid inline and the name reads as a plain bar. Raise the card word to 28 mm, and check one card before the run.

Summer

Fiesta poster, stage banner and tote print

A dotted Tuscan reads across a field at gate distance where a thin face would vanish. The forks hold at 150 mm on a poster, and two warm inks print the poster and the tote from one separation.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Poster A2, word 150 mm with 15 mm dot clearance, details 44 mm, 20 mm margins. Stage banner 3000 x 800 mm, word 260 mm, 60 mm safe edge. Tote print 300 x 300 mm, word 70 mm, 25 mm margins.

Pre-production check

Screen printed on a tote at 70 mm the dots bridge into a solid line after a wash. Use a 2 mm stencil bridge, and wash one sample before the order.

Autumn

Harvest-fair poster, tent sign and prize label

A Western slab reads as a printed frontier bill rather than a modern flyer. The forks hold at 100 mm on a poster, and two warm inks print the poster and the prize labels in one pass.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Poster A2, word 100 mm with 12 mm dot clearance, details 34 mm, 20 mm margins. Tent sign 600 x 400 mm, word 90 mm, 25 mm margins. Prize label 90 x 60 mm, word 18 mm, 5 mm margins.

Pre-production check

A 90 x 60 mm prize label at 18 mm fills the dotted inline and the word reads as a stain. Raise the label word to 24 mm, and print one label before the batch.
