Rugged eroded slab display
Trosher
Trosher is a rugged slab display in black on a mottled white ground: broad bracketed slabs with clean and heavily eroded fills, mixed case with tall ascenders and a full-width setting, with a bracketed note above, a plain line beneath and two small notes at the foot.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Trosher.
The plate shows the face twice: a bracketed line above demonstrates the clean cut and the main word demonstrates the eroded one, which is the useful comparison for a distressed face, because a buyer can see what has been worn away rather than guessing. The drawing is a slab with brackets at the joins and thick stems, and the erosion is applied as texture rather than as a change of shape, so the letterforms stay readable. That construction sets a moderate size floor, and the plate sets the word large enough that the erosion reads as grain. The mottled ground is staging, and the notes at the foot carry the studio and the glyph count. Because the letters are heavy and wide, the face suits a poster, a label and a shirt rather than a paragraph.

Poster for a music festival
A rugged slab reads as a printed poster, and the eroded cut gives the title texture without an extra illustration. A rough face reads as printed, not digital.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A2 poster: the festival at 100 mm cap height, the line-up in a 22 mm slab, and the venue at 11 mm. Keep 28 mm margins and print one colour on a light stock.
Pre-production check
Check the A2 at five metres, where the erosion can look like a print fault; keep it even. Confirm the 11 mm venue reads at two metres and that the title clears the trim.
Label for a craft brewery
A rugged slab gives a bottle label a working register, and the heavy brackets survive a small die on a curved bottle. A craft label rewards a working register.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 70 by 90 mm label: the brewery at 14 pt, the beer at 8.5 pt, and the volume at 7 pt. Keep 5 mm inside the die and keep the erosion above 0.4 mm.
Pre-production check
Check the 14 pt name on a bottle, where the erosion can clot; keep the smallest detail above 0.4 mm. Confirm the 7 pt volume reads on the shelf and that the label holds in a cooler.
Shirt graphic for a band
A rugged face prints in one screen and looks worn in from the first wear, which suits a band shirt. A band shirt should look worn before it is sold.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 250 mm chest graphic: the band at 60 mm cap height, the tour line at 28 mm, and one ink on a light shirt. Keep the narrowest counter at 4 mm and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where a 4 mm counter can fill; open the spacing. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the erosion stays visible after five cycles.

Tall worn slabs with vertical scrape texture
Retro Grunge
Retro Grunge shows tall closely spaced slab capitals with rounded bowls and deep vertical scratches, where the E and R keep heavy stems even as the surface breaks and a red-brown offset edge sits behind the black letters on aged paper.

Cowboy Western is a western slab display in which the serifs grow spurs, the stems stay heavy and an inline shade runs through each letter, so a name reads as a brand burnt into a barn board.
