Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Sketch Cartoon.
Sketch Cartoon is a hand-hatched kids cartoon face drawn in coloured pencil and crayon: wobbly rounded letters with visible pencil hatching inside the stroke, uneven edges that catch the paper tooth and a light crayon fill that never quite meets the outline. The hatching is the design and it fills into a solid tone once the face is reduced. It needs roughly 28 mm for the hatch and the paper tooth to read, and it is best as a two-colour print on uncoated stock, or one ink on textured paper where the tooth prints as grain.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Sketch Cartoon’s stroke geometry.
Party invite, cake topper and goody-bag label
A crayon cartoon face reads as a child's own drawing rather than a purchased card. The hatching holds at 44 mm on an invite, and two inks print the invite and the labels as one set.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Invite A6, word 40 mm with 8 mm hatch clearance, details 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Topper 130 x 110 mm, word 48 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 80 x 50 mm bag label at 14 mm fills the hatching into a solid tone and the greeting reads as a smear. Raise the label word to 20 mm, and print one label before the batch.
Kids-page header, cover flash and activity title
A crayon face turns a children's page into its own drawing. The hatching holds at 52 pt on an uncoated page, and two inks keep the outline separate from the crayon fill.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Header 52 pt with 8 mm hatch clearance, body 12/17 pt over two columns of 82 mm, 18 mm margins and a 12 mm head. Cover flash 90 x 60 mm, word 32 pt, 6 mm margins. Activity title 36 pt.
Pre-production check
At 36 pt on the activity title the hatching silts and the title reads as a flat block. Keep the face at 46 pt and above, and proof one page at 1:1.
Classroom display, name card and reward sticker
A crayon face reads as a teacher's own lettering rather than a printed notice, which is what a primary wall wants. The hatching holds at 140 mm on a display, and two inks print the display and the stickers in one pass.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Display 1200 x 400 mm, letters 160 mm with 12 mm hatch clearance, 20 mm margins. Name card 105 x 75 mm, name 20 mm, 5 mm margins. Reward sticker 50 mm round, word 10 mm, 3 mm die margin.
Pre-production check
At 20 mm on a name card the hatching turns to dirt and the name looks smudged after a term of handling. Raise cards to 26 mm and laminate them, and make one before the class set.
