Sports-ball alphabet collection
The Sports Collection
The Sports Collection is a bundle cover sheet: a grid of sample panels behind a central white card that names the set, above a mixed row of sports-ball blocks — football, basketball, baseball, soccer and tennis — with a count band and a small price badge at the upper right.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of The Sports Collection.
The plate is a sales cover rather than a specimen, and the structure is honest about what it is: a grid of panels shows the variants at a glance, a mixed row in the middle proves that the fills work together, and a count band states how many fonts are included. The blocks are heavy and rounded with thick outlines, so each fill reads as a ball's own surface, and the mixed row is the practical demonstration of a bundle. That construction sets a moderate size floor, because the fine ball seams close first. The count band and the price badge are product copy. It suits a shirt, a team poster and a card for a sports club or a school team.

Poster for a club season
A sports bundle fills a club poster, and the mixed fills let one season bill carry several teams without a new face. It fills a club poster.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A2 poster: the club at 100 mm cap height, the details in a 20 mm sans, and the venue at 11 mm. Keep 28 mm margins, print four colours and keep the ball seams above 3 mm.
Pre-production check
Check the A2 at five metres, where a seam closes; use the plain cut there. Confirm the 11 mm venue reads at two metres and that the panels clear the type.
Shirt graphic for a team
A sports display prints as team kit, and the coarse fills hold on a shirt where a fine novelty face would turn to grey. It prints as team kit.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 250 mm chest graphic: the team at 55 mm cap height, the year at 24 mm, and three inks on a light shirt. Keep the smallest seam at 3 mm and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where a 3 mm seam can fill; enlarge it to 4 mm. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the fills stay separate after five cycles.
Card for a sports birthday
A sports card names a party, and the mixed fills let a card carry the theme without a photograph of a player. It carries the theme alone.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A6 card: the greeting at 30 pt, the details in a 10 pt sans, and the date at 9 pt. Keep 15 mm margins, print four colours on a white card and leave 12 mm at the foot for the address.
Pre-production check
Check the 30 pt greeting at home-print resolution, where a seam closes; keep it above 1.2 mm. Confirm the details read at arm's length and that the card folds flat.
