Visual anatomy & craft review

Letterform structure
of Tiki Beach.

Tiki Beach is a Polynesian carved-totem and tiki mask display: heavy block letters carved with stacked horizontal grooves, small mask faces set into some counters and a rounded top edge that reads as a carved post. The mask faces are the design and they fill into the stroke once the face is reduced, and the grooves add a carved texture. It needs roughly 34 mm for the mask and the groove to read, and it is best in one dense ink on timber-toned stock, or a routed cut where the grooves become real channels.

Practical applications

Project & layout
blueprints.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Tiki Beach’s stroke geometry.

Summer

Beach-bar sign, cup print and menu board

A carved tiki face reads as a routed beach sign rather than a printed menu. The masks hold at 60 mm on a sign, and one ink prints the sign and the cups in one order.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Sign 900 x 600 mm, word 120 mm with 12 mm groove clearance, items 26 mm, 25 mm margins. Cup print 70 x 50 mm, word 16 mm, 5 mm margins. Menu board 600 x 900 mm, items 26 mm, 30 mm margins.

Pre-production check

A 70 x 50 mm cup panel at 16 mm closes the mask faces into blots and the name reads as a stain. Raise cup type to 24 mm, and check one printed cup before the order.

Birthday

Luau-party invite, cake topper and cup wrap

A carved tiki display announces a luau through the lettering alone. The masks hold at 44 mm on a topper, and one ink prints the invite and the wraps as one set.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Invite A6, word 44 mm with 12 mm groove 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. Cup wrap 200 x 90 mm, word 20 mm, 12 mm from the rim.

Pre-production check

A 130 mm topper cut through a mask counter leaves a 1 mm island that falls out. Cut toppers to the outer silhouette, and test one before the party.

Brand & packaging

Surf-shop identity, decal and card

A carved tiki display reads as a routed shop sign rather than a corporate logo. The grooves hold at 60 mm on a decal, and one vinyl colour covers the decal and the card print.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Decal 400 x 200 mm, word 60 mm with 10 mm groove clearance, 25 mm margins. Card 85 x 55 mm, word 20 mm, 5 mm margins. Sign 900 x 400 mm, word 120 mm, 25 mm margins.

Pre-production check

A 400 x 200 mm decal at 60 mm traps air in the groove channels and the vinyl lifts along each line. Use a wet-apply method, and apply one decal before the run.
