Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of School Vintage.
Two words are stacked at the top of the page and the face is an old typewriter serif: the serifs are small slabs with rounded feet, the stroke is even and neutral, the S closes with a soft shoulder, the a and the e keep open counters, and the letters are spaced generously so the words read as typed rather than set. The sample does the sensible thing and shows the numeral row as well, between two hyphens, which is what a buyer actually needs to check for a period face: that the figures are the same weight and width as the letters. A caption in the same face sits between two rules at the foot, and the palette is a single dark ink on sage green. School Vintage is a serif for school material, editorial pages, packaging and any design that wants a quiet documentary voice, and it works at text sizes as well as in headings.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to School Vintage’s stroke geometry.
Worksheet heading for a class
An old typewriter face gives a worksheet the look of a duplicated sheet, and the even weight keeps a heading readable at photocopy quality.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 sheet at 210 by 297 mm: set the heading at 26 pt on one line, keep 14 mm of clear ground beneath before the instructions at 11 pt, and hold 20 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
Thin serifs can break up on a school copier; run one copy on the machine that will be used before printing a class set.
Pull quote in a local history piece
A quiet typewriter face sets a quotation apart from the body without raising its voice, which suits a piece built on documents.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 by 280 mm page: set the quote at 14 pt over four lines on a 90 mm measure, keep 12 mm of clear ground above and below, and hold 24 mm of margin on the outer sides.
Pre-production check
A neutral face at fourteen points can look like body text; separate it with rules or space and proof the page.
Label for a vintage stationery set
A school typewriter face suits a stationery product, and the numeral row means prices and quantities will sit in the same voice.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 40 mm label: set the product at 9 pt over two lines, keep 3.5 mm of clear ground on all four sides, and hold the label 8 mm from the top edge of the pack.
Pre-production check
A small label with a light face can look grey; print one on the real board and check the weight before the order.
