Grunge brush caps
Rustic Brush
Rustic Brush is a grunge brush display in black on a light wood ground: heavy caps with dry, streaked edges, uneven stroke widths and small spatter where the brush ran out, so the pair reads as lettering painted onto a board with a wide brush.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Rustic Brush.
The two words are stacked and the drawing imitates a loaded brush: the strokes are thick, the ends are blunt and ragged, and the interior carries streaks where the bristles separated, which is what makes the texture read as paint rather than as a filter. Because the strokes stay heavy, the letters hold at a distance, and the counters remain open even where the spatter is densest. Spacing is tight, so the pair reads as one painted block, and the widths vary a little from letter to letter, which is the imperfection that a hand-painted sign has. The ground is a pale wood photograph, and the two captions above and below are set in a clean grotesque, so the brush face is the only textured element on the page.

Sign for a farm shop
A grunge brush face reads as painted lettering on timber, and the texture means a hand-painted board looks deliberate rather than roughly executed.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 1,000 by 400 mm board: the name at 140 mm cap height, the produce in a 24 mm sans, and a 6 mm rule. Keep 30 mm margins, paint black on bare timber, and keep the strokes wide enough that the grain does not break them.
Pre-production check
Check the board at fifteen metres, where the spatter can look like damage; keep the splatter to the edges. Confirm the 24 mm produce reads at four metres and that the brush streaks stay visible after a clear coat.
Shirt graphic for a rustic party
A brush graphic prints as one screen and looks hand-painted on fabric, which suits a barn party better than a clean modern mark.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 260 mm chest graphic: the phrase at 60 mm cap height, the date at 16 mm, and one ink on a light shirt. Keep the thinnest stroke at 3 mm so the screen holds it and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where a dry streak under 2 mm fills; open the texture for fabric. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the date stays legible after five cycles.
Poster for a craft workshop
A brush face signals making rather than marketing, and the heavy strokes read from across a hall on a poster that has to compete with printed notices.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A3 print: the headline at 90 mm cap height, the workshop details in a 12 mm sans, and a 6 mm border. Keep 25 mm margins and print one colour on a kraft sheet so the texture reads as part of the paper.
Pre-production check
Check the A3 at two metres, where the spatter can reduce legibility; keep the letters clean. Confirm the 12 mm details read at arm's length and that the border does not crowd the descenders.
