Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Olive.
Olive is a chunky organic display sans with softly rounded corners, gently tapered stems and slightly irregular blocks, wrapped in a white sticker keyline on the specimen, so a word reads as a Mediterranean market label rather than a geometric poster. The irregularity is small and repeatable, which keeps it legible at 20 mm, and the sticker keyline lets it sit over a busy background. It needs roughly 24 mm for the taper to read, and it is best in jet black on cream or in one dark ink on terrazzo pink.

Deli label, oil bottle and market card
A soft organic block reads as a market stall's own label, which is what a small deli prints on a bottle and a card. The taper gives the name warmth at 16 mm, and one ink on a coated label keeps the print cheap.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Label 70 x 95 mm, name 16 mm, weight 5 pt, 5 mm top arc and 4 mm die margin. Card 105 x 148 mm, heading 20 mm, details 8/11 pt. Sign 600 x 400 mm, word 110 mm, 40 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 16 mm label name on a curved bottle closes the tapered stem and the word reads as a solid slab. Print digitally or keep the name at 20 mm, and check one applied label on a filled bottle.
Market-festival poster, banner and stall header
Organic blocks read as a summer food market, which is what a street event prints on a poster. The heavy forms hold at 260 mm in one ink, and the soft corners keep the tone warm without a photograph.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Poster A2, word 260 mm, details 22/28 pt, 30 mm margins and 20 mm trim. Banner 1500 x 400 mm, word 240 mm, 100 mm margins. Header 1200 x 300 mm, word 140 mm, 50 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A banner printed on mesh shows perforations through a solid fill and the word looks dotted. Print the word on a solid vinyl panel and sew it on, and check one hung panel in daylight.
Garden-market sign, plant-pot label and seed card
Soft rounded blocks read as a spring plant sale, which is what a nursery paints on a board. The taper holds at 110 mm on a sign, and the face stays friendly at 12 mm on a seed card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Sign 900 x 600 mm, word 170 mm, 60 mm margins. Pot label 40 x 60 mm, name 6 mm, 3 mm margins. Seed card 105 x 148 mm, heading 18 mm, notes 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 6 mm pot label closes the rounded corner into a square and the variety name reads as a block. Keep pot labels at 8 mm or use a plain sans, and check one label pushed into a pot.
