Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Reaktion Kids Bold.
Reaktion Kids Bold is a chunky quirky kids' marker font with mixed heights: some letters are drawn tall and some squat, the baseline wobbles and the stems carry a small ink blob where the marker paused. The mixed heights grow the word box vertically, and the blobs are the finest detail. It needs roughly 24 mm for the mixed height and the blob to read, and it is best in one bright ink on white, or a single dark colour on pastel card where the blobs stay open.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Reaktion Kids Bold’s stroke geometry.
Classroom display, name plate and tray label
A mixed-height marker reads as a child's own lettering rather than a printed banner, which is what a primary wall wants. The wobble stays friendly at 140 mm, and one ink prints the display and a whole class set of name plates.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Display 1200 x 400 mm, letters 160 mm with 12 mm blob clearance, 20 mm margins. Name plate 120 x 40 mm, name 16 mm, 4 mm margins. Tray label 105 x 60 mm, word 18 mm, 5 mm margins.
Pre-production check
At 18 mm on a tray label the mixed heights collapse to one level and the wobble disappears, leaving a plain marker face. Raise labels to 24 mm and laminate them, and make one label before the class set.
Party invite, cake topper and goody-bag label
A quirky kids' marker reads as a party made at home rather than bought, which is what a family birthday wants. The mixed heights give the invite energy at 36 mm, and one ink prints the invite and the bag labels in one pass.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Invite A6, word 36 mm with 8 mm blob clearance, details 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Topper 120 x 100 mm, word 40 mm with a 6 mm stick slot and 12 mm clear. Bag label 80 x 50 mm, word 14 mm, 5 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 120 mm topper cut through the ink blob leaves a 0.6 mm island that snaps on the stick. Cut toppers without blobs, and test one before the set.
Camp poster, field-day sign and water-bottle label
A quirky marker reads as a hand-painted camp sign rather than a printed banner, which is what a summer camp wants at its gate. The chunky stems hold at 100 mm, and one ink prints the poster, the sign and the bottle labels in a single order.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Poster A3, word 100 mm with 12 mm blob clearance, details 28 mm, 18 mm margins. Field sign 900 x 600 mm, word 120 mm, 25 mm margins. Bottle label 70 x 50 mm, word 12 mm, 4 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 70 x 50 mm bottle label at 12 mm closes the marker blob into a dot and the name reads as speckled. Raise the label word to 18 mm, and check one bottle in the sun before the batch.
