Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Ultimate Stacked.
The plate is a contact sheet rather than a specimen, and that is the honest way to sell a bundle: nine panels show nine variants side by side, so the buyer can compare the outline weights, the script captions and the colour treatments before choosing. The construction is the same in every panel — a word repeated three times in a soft rounded outline, stacked so the outlines overlap, with a connected script caption beneath that anchors the block. That construction sets a moderate size floor, because the overlapping outlines close first, and the repetition means a short word works better than a long one. The central plaque and the captions are product copy. It suits a shirt, a card and a social graphic with a retro feel.

Shirt graphic for a retro shop
A stacked bundle gives a small shop a range of treatments, and the stacked block fills a chest without an extra illustration.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 260 mm chest graphic: the word stacked three times at 46 mm, the caption at 14 mm, and three inks on a light shirt. Keep 4 mm between the outlines and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where the outlines can merge; keep 4 mm of gap. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the overlapping outlines stay separate after five cycles.
Card for a retro birthday
A stacked block names a retro party, and the script caption gives the greeting a second voice on a small card. It reads as a hand-made card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A6 card: the stacked word at 24 pt, the date at 9 pt, and three colours on a cream card. Keep 15 mm margins, keep 1.5 mm between the outlines and leave 12 mm at the foot for the address.
Pre-production check
Check the 24 pt stack at home-print resolution, where the outlines merge; open the spacing. Confirm the date reads at arm's length and that the card folds flat.
Tag for a themed favour
A stacked tag names a bag, and the pastel variants suit a party where the palette is soft rather than bright. It suits a soft palette.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print 50 by 75 mm tags: the stacked word at 16 pt, the name at 8 pt, and three colours on a white card. Keep 5 mm inside the die, keep 3 mm between the outlines and punch clear of the caption.
Pre-production check
Check the 16 pt stack on a tag, where the outlines close; use a single line of the stack there. Confirm the name reads at arm's length and that the tags tie cleanly.

Wavy Stacker
Wavy Stacker is a bundle of retro stacked letter sets: each style repeats a word several times in a wave that bends across the lines, mixes colours line by line, and offers six variants from a filled wave to an outline, a soft pastel and a kraft-paper version, so the sheet reads as a set of ready-made retro lockups.
