Wide weathered slab display
Vintage Capital
Vintage Capital is a wide slab display in aged cream on a dark ground with faint cracks: broad heavy capitals with long vertical scratches, chipped edges and thick square serifs, set in two lines between an arced line above and a boxed line beneath.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Vintage Capital.
The two words are stacked and the drawing is a wide slab: the serifs are thick and square, the strokes are broad, and the surface carries vertical scratches and chipped edges, so the face reads as a letterpress plate rather than as clean type. That construction sets a size floor, because the scratches close when the letters shrink, and the plate sets the block large enough that the wear reads as texture. The dark cracked ground is staging that suits the subject, and the arced line above and the boxed line beneath are plain caps that name the style. Because the letters are wide and heavy, the face suits a poster, a sign and a shirt, and the plate shows only capitals, so lowercase is untested and a buyer should request a proof before setting a long line.

Poster for a vintage market
A weathered slab reads as a printed placard, which suits a market where every stall competes for attention. Places read as printed rather than as signage.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A2 poster: the market at 100 mm cap height, the dates in a 24 mm sans, and the venue at 11 mm. Keep 28 mm margins and print two colours on a light stock.
Pre-production check
Check the A2 at five metres, where a fine scratch can look like dirt; keep the wear even. Confirm the 11 mm venue reads at two metres and that the dates clear the block.
Sign for a barber shop
A wide weathered slab gives a barber a period sign, and the heavy serifs hold on a board that faces the street all year.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 1,000 by 380 mm board: the shop at 120 mm cap height, the hours in a 22 mm slab, and a 5 mm rule. Keep 25 mm margins and paint two colours on a primed board.
Pre-production check
Check the board at five metres, where the chipped edge can look like peeling paint; keep it consistent. Confirm the 22 mm hours read at two metres and that the rule survives a wet season.
Shirt graphic for a reunion
A weathered slab prints in one screen and looks worn in from the first wear, which suits a reunion shirt. It looks worn in from the first wear, which is the point.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 260 mm chest graphic: the year at 70 mm cap height, the line at 30 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 scratches stay visible after five cycles.

Tall angular slabs covered by diagonal scratches
Original Vintage
Original Vintage uses tall white slab capitals with clipped corners and dense diagonal cuts. The scratch direction crosses both rows with a consistent angle, producing a striated surface rather than scattered chip damage, while the black charcoal background stays separate from the letter texture.
