Tall handmade rounded caps
Rainbow
Rainbow is a tall handmade sans in black on a sky photograph: narrow capitals with rounded terminals, slightly uneven stems, a bowed W and an open R, so the word reads as lettering cut by hand rather than as a geometric grotesque.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Rainbow.
The word is set once, wide, and the drawing is a hand-made sans: the strokes are even, the corners are rounded, and the stems bow by a fraction, which keeps the face from looking machined. The letters are narrow and tall, which is what lets a long word fill the frame without a second line, and the counters are open enough to read at a distance. The adjustments are small — the W bows inward, the R's leg opens, the W's middle apex rises — and together they give the word a drawn quality. The ground is a photograph of a rainbow over hills, and the only other element is a two-line tracked caption at the foot, so the plate is honest about being a single-weight display rather than a text family.

Sign for a children's shop
A handmade sans reads as friendly and unpretentious, and the tall narrow letters fit a long shop name across a fascia where a wide face would need two lines.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 900 by 300 mm board: the name at 120 mm cap height, the hours in a 24 mm sans, and a 4 mm rule. Keep 30 mm margins and paint black on a light board so the rounded terminals read as brushed.
Pre-production check
Check the board at fifteen metres, where a bowed stem can look like a mistake; keep the bow subtle. Confirm the 24 mm hours read at four metres and that the rule clears the descenders.
Notice for a nursery open day
A simple handmade face reads for parents and children alike and looks less institutional than a standard grotesque, which matters on a noticeboard of official sheets.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A4 print: the headline at 44 mm cap height, the times in a 10 mm sans, and the address in 8 mm. Keep 20 mm margins and print one colour on coloured paper so the notice stands out without extra cost.
Pre-production check
Check the A4 at two metres, where a thin stem can thin out behind glass; keep the ink solid. Confirm the 8 mm address reads at arm's length and that the headline fits without wrapping.
Banner for a first birthday
A tall handmade sans reads across a room and looks drawn rather than bought, which suits a family banner that will mostly be photographed.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print 700 by 400 mm: the name at 120 mm cap height, the age in a 40 mm sans, and a 4 mm border. Keep 25 mm margins and print one colour on a pale ground so the dark letters stay crisp in photographs.
Pre-production check
Check the banner at four metres, where the rounded terminals can blur; keep the stroke clean. Confirm the 40 mm age reads at three metres and that the banner photographs without moire.
