Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Tippy Tappy Type.
The strokes stay slab-ended, the bowls stay round, the feet wobble from letter to letter and the baseline drifts slightly. That wobble is the character: the sample reads as typing rather than typesetting, which is why the three rows stack tightly. The typewriter photograph, the weather doodles and the bonus-vector caption belong to the cover, and neither monospacing nor a doodle count is shown. Keep 30 pt so the feet stay distinct, check that your file has the flourish and set the rows tight only on a plain ground.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Tippy Tappy Type’s stroke geometry.
Heading for a letters page
The typed rhythm suits a page of reader letters, and the uneven feet keep the heading from looking like a corporate subhead.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 mm page: set the heading at 30 pt across two rows with 10 mm between baselines, keep 14 mm of clear ground beneath before the body at 10 pt, and keep 18 mm of margin.
Pre-production check
The flourish may be an extra graphic; check your file before promising it under a heading.
Card for a written thanks
The typewriter feel gives a note card a letter rather than a greeting-card voice, which suits a thank you sent after an interview.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 105 by 148 mm card: set the greeting at 22 pt on one row, keep 16 mm of clear ground beneath for the handwritten message, and keep 18 mm of margin at each side.
Pre-production check
Monospacing is not confirmed; check the spacing of a full typed line before setting a list.
Cover for a writing workbook
The typing rhythm suits a workbook cover about writing, and the round bowls stay friendly at a size children read easily.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 cover: set the title at 40 pt across two rows with 12 mm between baselines, keep 20 mm of clear ground beneath before the subtitle at 11 pt, and keep 20 mm of margin all round.
Pre-production check
Doodle counts are advertised, not shown; check the download before planning illustrations.
