Heavy rounded school sans
School Bold shows heavy upright sans capitals with rounded corners and tall oval counters: the C opening stays broad and the B closes two small rounded bowls, while the cover adds a white edge and a deep offset shadow.

Sturdy stroke walls and open counters weed cleanly on adhesive vinyl, HTV apparel film, and cut cardstock.
Visual anatomy & craft review
The stems stay thick and upright, the corners round off, the counters stretch into tall ovals and the C keeps a wide mouth while the B presses two small bowls together. The rounded weight is the character: the row reads as friendly signage rather than a technical sans, which is why the sample pairs it with an edge and an offset shadow. Because the counters are small, keep 28 pt before they hold, and treat the white edge and shadow as layout effects rather than font features.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to School Bold’s stroke geometry.
The rounded weight suits a welcoming sign, and the tall counters stay open at 60 mm on a painted board in two colours. The rounded corners keep a sign welcoming.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 600 by 250 mm board: set the name at 60 mm, keep 20 mm of border so the rounded corners stay whole, and set the opening hours in a 14 mm caps beneath with 16 mm of clear ground.
Pre-production check
Rounded corners painted to a board edge look sheared; check the mounted sign and keep 18 mm of margin. Check the mounted sign in daylight.
The friendly capitals suit a party banner, and the heavy forms read across a room at 46 pt on a printed A3 sheet. The heavy weight carries a banner across a room.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A3 banner: set the greeting at 46 pt, keep 20 mm of clear sheet at each end, and set the name at 20 pt in a rounded sans beneath with 12 mm of clear ground. Keep the banner flat rather than curled.
Pre-production check
An offset shadow printed at 2 mm looks like a slip; check the artwork and set the offset deliberately at 4 mm or drop it.
The rounded sans reads on a cart panel, and the small counters stay open at 30 pt behind a counter in one ink. The rounded weight suits a cart seen from the pavement.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 200 by 90 mm cart panel: set the brand at 30 pt, keep 12 mm of clear ground beneath for the lower bowls, and set the flavours at 12 pt in a rounded sans on a separate line.
Pre-production check
A laminated cart panel fogs small counters; check the proof and keep the brand at 26 pt or above. Keep the flavour line short.
