Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Texas College.
Texas sits above College in two rows that fill the card, and both words are built from the same broad block: a thick stem, a flat slab serif at top and foot, and a counter squared off so that the O and the C read as rectangles with rounded inner corners. The spacing is tight and even, the rows hold together as a single mass, and the lettering is printed in a single dark brown on a paper ground that carries a faint radial sunburst and darker edges. Three captions sit above and below, the lower one with a small star. The face is a varsity block for apparel, pennants and signs: the weight is what makes it work, so it should be set large and in one colour, and the squared counters need watching when it is printed small.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Texas College’s stroke geometry.
Pennant for a school sports day
A heavy block reads across a field on a triangular pennant, and the aged brown on tan suits a traditional school sports day rather than a modern one.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 450 by 200 mm pennant: set the school name at 80 pt on one row, keep 18 mm of clear ground beneath before the date at 16 pt, and hold 16 mm from the widest letter to the pennant edge.
Pre-production check
A triangular trim clips the outer letters; print one pennant at the final size and check both ends before the order.
Lettering for a team shirt
The weight survives a single-colour screen print on a mesh shirt, which is the format most school teams can actually afford.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 260 by 120 mm chest print: set the team name at 78 pt on one row, keep 20 mm of clear ground beneath before the number at 54 pt, and hold 16 mm from the outer stroke to the seam.
Pre-production check
Squared counters fill in on a coarse mesh; print one pull on the actual shirt and check the C and the E before the run.
Cover for a school yearbook
A solid collegiate block gives a yearbook a cover that still looks right a decade later, and the tight spacing fits a long school name.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 by 297 mm cover: set the school name at 56 pt across two rows, keep 18 mm of clear ground beneath before the year at 26 pt, and hold 16 mm of margin on all sides.
Pre-production check
Two tight rows at cover size can look like one mass; print one cover and check the gap between the rows before the run.
