Visual anatomy & craft review
Urban Clash is a chunky street-marker graffiti display: fat interlocking letters with a squared marker edge, a hard keyline, small drips running off the baseline and a few counters cut through as if sprayed over a layer. The drips and the cut counters are the finest elements and both close when the face is reduced. It needs roughly 30 mm for the drip and the keyline to read, and it is best as a flat two-colour print on coated stock, or one vinyl colour where the drips become cut paths.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Urban Clash’s stroke geometry.
A marker graffiti display turns a street-culture page into its own wall. The drips hold at 44 pt on a coated page, and two flat inks keep the keyline crisp against a photographic ground.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Header 44 pt with 10 mm drip clearance, body 9/13 pt over two columns of 82 mm, 18 mm margins and a 12 mm head. Opener 36 pt with 10 mm of clear ground. Pull quote 32 pt with 8 mm above and 8 mm below.
Pre-production check
At 32 pt on the pull quote the drips merge into the keyline and the quote reads as a solid block. Keep the face at 40 pt and above, and proof one spread at 1:1.
A marker graffiti face reads as a printed sticker rather than a corporate mark, which is what a skate shop wants on a board. The keyline holds at 30 mm on a sticker, and two flat inks print the sticker and the mural from one separation.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Sticker 90 x 60 mm, word 30 mm with 8 mm drip clearance, 5 mm die margin. Mural 3000 x 2000 mm, word 600 mm, 100 mm safe edge. Card 85 x 55 mm, word 20 mm, 5 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 90 x 60 mm sticker at 30 mm closes the drips into the keyline and the name reads as a solid tile. Raise the sticker word to 38 mm, and check one sheet before the run.
A graffiti display reads as a youth-club flyer rather than a school notice. The keyline holds at 120 mm on a poster, and two flat inks print the poster and the shirts in one pass.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Poster A2, word 120 mm with 14 mm drip clearance, details 40 mm, 20 mm margins. Banner 1500 x 400 mm, word 150 mm, 30 mm safe edge. Shirt print 300 x 400 mm, word 90 mm, 20 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Screen printed on a shirt at 70 mm the drips bridge and the cut counters fill after a wash. Use a 2 mm stencil bridge, and wash one sample before the order.
