Wood-grain hatch display
Wooden Log is a rustic display on a photographic plank ground: irregular narrow capitals in white with short inward hatch marks along the strokes and occasional knot-like interruptions, set in two stacked words with a small maker line beneath, framed by four rivets.

Visual anatomy & craft review
The plate is a sign mock-up, and the construction suits it: the letters are narrow and irregular with short hatches cut inward from the edges, so each stroke reads as a carved or routed groove in wood rather than as a printed letter, and the knots interrupt the strokes at irregular points, which stops the pattern from looking mechanical. That construction sets a large size floor, because the hatches close into a solid stroke first. The plank ground and the four rivets are staging, and the maker line at the foot is product copy. Because the letters are narrow and hand-cut in feel, the face suits a sign, a label and a shirt for a rustic or an outdoor subject, and it is best used as two stacked words rather than a long line.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Wooden Log’s stroke geometry.
A carved display reads as a sign rather than a sticker, and the hatches give the letters the look of routed grooves. It reads as routed timber.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 900 by 320 mm board: the cabin at 100 mm cap height, the line in a 22 mm sans, and two colours on a primed board. Keep 24 mm margins and keep the hatches above 4 mm.
Pre-production check
Check the board at 100 mm, where a hatch can fill with paint; keep it above 4 mm. Confirm the 22 mm line reads at three metres and that the board survives the weather.
A rustic label names a hand-made product, and the irregular letters hold on a small die better than a fine serif. It suits a hand-made product.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 55 by 80 mm label: the product at 12 pt, the detail at 8 pt, and the weight at 7 pt. Keep 5 mm inside the die and simplify the hatches below 16 pt.
Pre-production check
Check the 12 pt product on a small die, where the hatches fill; use the plain cut there. Confirm the 8 pt detail reads at arm's length and that the label takes a fold.
A carved display prints as camp kit, and the white strokes read on a coloured shirt where a fine face would look weak. It reads as camp kit.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 250 mm chest graphic: the camp at 55 mm cap height, the year at 24 mm, and one ink on a coloured shirt. Keep the smallest hatch 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 hatch can fill; enlarge it. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the strokes stay even after five cycles.
Technical & licence verification
