Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Wavely Groovy.
The two words are stacked and set almost as solid shapes, and the face is a bubbly display: every stem bulges at the waist, the W and the y push rounded lobes past the baseline, the G closes into a swollen ring, the letters touch or nearly touch, and the counters collapse into small ovals and slits. There is no contrast at all, so the word reads as one continuous mass at a distance and only separates into letters up close, which is the effect the sample builds on. The panel sits on a seventies ground of concentric sun rays, wide waving bands in terracotta and olive, and daisies drawn at two sizes, with small tracked badges naming the style and the mood. Wavely Groovy is a display face for retro posters, party goods, labels and album art, and it needs one or two short words at a big size where the bulges can breathe.

blueprints.
Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Wavely Groovy’s stroke geometry.
Banner for a seventies birthday
A bubbly face turns a plain banner into a period object, and the very heavy stroke stays readable across a room where a thin face would disappear.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 1000 by 400 mm banner: set the greeting at 150 pt over two lines, keep 34 mm of clear ground beneath before the age at 46 pt, and hold 28 mm of border on all four sides.
Pre-production check
Bulging letters can merge into a single blob on fabric; print one section at the final size and check the gaps before the order.
Label for a natural ice lolly
A fat rounded face makes a small pack look generous, and the seventies shapes signal fruit and sunshine without a picture of either.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 70 by 110 mm wrap label: set the brand at 18 pt on one line, keep 8 mm of clear ground beneath before the flavour at 6 pt, and hold 5 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
A tight fit squeezes the label ends on a curved wrap; print one on the real film and check the letters near the seam.
Sticker for a coffee cart
A bubbly mark is easy to spot at a market and reads at the size of a cup lid, where fine type on a small sticker would be lost.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 75 by 75 mm circle: set the name at 22 pt on two lines, keep 9 mm of clear ground inside the die, and hold the artwork 6 mm clear of the circle edge all round.
Pre-production check
A heavy face at the edge of a die can get trimmed; keep the letters well inside the circle and print one sheet before the batch.
