Chamfered pitted vintage slab
Rough Vintage is a tall heavy slab shown in orange and sand on a dark brown ground: chamfered slabs with scattered pits, chipped fill and blunt terminals, set in two lines with no ornament and no copy on the sheet.

Fine grain and micro-texture excel in 300 DPI print, sublimation, and screen print rather than small vinyl weeding.
Visual anatomy & craft review
The plate is a swatch of two cuts rather than a specimen, and the two lines show the same construction in two colours, which is enough to judge the face because the texture is the product. The drawing is a tall chamfered slab whose fill is pitted and chipped, so the letters read as stencilled on worn wood, and the chamfer gives the weight an edge that a plain slab lacks. That construction sets a large size floor, because the pits close into a tone when the letters shrink, and the dark ground shows that both colours hold. There is no copy on the sheet, so the buyer judges the texture alone. It suits a shirt, a sign and a package for a workwear brand.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Rough Vintage’s stroke geometry.
A pitted slab reads as worn print, and the chamfered weight survives a screen where a fine texture would fill in. The texture survives a screen.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 260 mm chest graphic: the brand at 60 mm cap height, the year at 26 mm, and two inks on a dark shirt. Keep the largest pit at 2 mm and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where the pits can merge into a tone; keep them apart. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the texture stays open after five cycles.
A pitted slab reads as a working shop, and the chamfered weight holds on a painted panel where a smooth face would look new.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 900 by 320 mm board: the workshop at 110 mm cap height, the hours in a 22 mm slab, and two colours on a primed board. Keep 22 mm margins and keep the pits above 4 mm.
Pre-production check
Check the board at 110 mm, where the pits can fill with paint; keep them above 4 mm. Confirm the 22 mm hours read at three metres and that the paint survives the weather.
A textured label reads as hardware, and the heavy slabs hold a model number on a small die. The heavy slabs hold a model number.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 40 mm label: the maker at 11 pt, the model at 7.5 pt, and two colours on a coated stock. Keep 4 mm inside the die and simplify the texture below 14 pt.
Pre-production check
Check the 11 pt maker on a small die, where the texture becomes noise; use the clean cut there. Confirm the 7.5 pt model reads at arm's length and that the label survives a solvent wipe.
Technical & licence verification
Confirm included OTF/TTF/WOFF formats, full glyph tables and licence coverage on the live store page before batch production.
