Rounded heavy slab-ended hand lettering
Oakleigh
Oakleigh is a rounded heavy slab lettering in coral pink with a mauve offset: fat letters with thick slab ends and fully rounded corners, a mixed case set and a soft shadow that sits behind the whole word.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Oakleigh.
The specimen sets Oakleigh in a mixed case with a capital O and lower-case body, and the face is a heavy slab hand: the O is a wide circle with thick ends, the a and the k are compact with slab stems, the l and the h carry slab feet, the e is a small loop and the i keeps a round dot, while every terminal is a rounded slab and the stroke is the same weight everywhere. An offset in mauve sits behind the word at a fixed distance, which gives the lettering a printed depth without a gradient, and a second line beneath in a lighter hand names the style. The ground is a pale studio photograph with a soft light, which keeps the pink and mauve pairing readable. Oakleigh is a display lettering for posters, apparel, packaging and cards, and it needs a short word at a large size where the slabs read.

Sign for a joyful reception
A heavy slab hand reads across a room and gives a plain board the warmth of hand lettering, and the offset makes the word stand away from the ground.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 600 by 400 mm board: set the greeting at 100 pt on one line, keep 26 mm of clear ground beneath before the names at 24 pt, and hold 22 mm of border on all four sides.
Pre-production check
An offset at board size can look like a shadow error; print one at the final size and check the distance before the set.
Cover for a design feature
A fat slab hand gives a cover a single confident word, and the offset lets the lettering sit over a photograph without a panel behind it.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 230 by 300 mm cover: set the cover word at 92 pt on one line, keep 26 mm of clear ground beneath before the cover lines at 11 pt, and hold 22 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
Rounded slabs can merge at ninety points; print one cover at the finished size and check the counters before the run.
Sticker for a small brand
A slab hand reads on a small sticker, and the offset works as a second colour without a second print pass on a digital press.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 100 by 150 mm sheet of 40 mm stickers: set the word at 20 pt inside each die, keep 7 mm of clear ground to the die line, and repeat the block across the sheet.
Pre-production check
A mauve offset can cross a tight die and be sliced off; print one sheet and cut it before running the rest.
