rendered in Traditional Tattoo lettering, the hand-inked capitals painted on classic American tattoo flash sheets. LETTERFORM: bold upright capitals in the manner of a sign painter's Tuscan serif: thick vertical stems, thinner horizontals, short pointed wedge serifs flaring out at the top and bottom of every stem, and one small pointed spur jutting from the middle of each thick stem. Wide, sturdy proportions, a clear gap between letters, every letter easy to read; words are always set in capitals. INK CONSTRUCTION: every letter is closed by one heavy, even black tattoo outline. Inside it, each thick stroke is split lengthwise: the left half is solid black and the right half is one flat, saturated colour, with a hard straight edge between the two halves; thin strokes and serifs are solid black. Two or three short white highlight dashes sit on the coloured half of the thick strokes. SURFACE: flat opaque ink, no gradient, no bevel, no 3D extrusion, no texture inside the letters. Like the lettering on 1940s sailor tattoo flash and old-school tattoo parlour signs: bold, proud, hand-painted. the classic American traditional flash people hang on a tattoo studio wall, frame as an art print or stick on a laptop. GRAPHIC LANGUAGE: bold flat icons from the classic sailor-era repertoire - swallows, red roses with green leaves, anchors, daggers through hearts, panther heads, eagles, nautical stars, ships, skulls and horseshoes - every shape closed by a heavy, even black outline with solid black shading along one side; small four-point sparkles, dots and short radiating lines fill the gaps between shapes; ribbon banners carry the words. LAYOUT: either one self-contained emblem with the words worked into it, or a flash sheet of several separate small designs spaced out across one page. LIGHT: no scene lighting - a flat hand-painted, printed graphic, evenly lit like paper in daylight. COLOUR: a limited flash palette of black, red, mustard yellow and leaf green with a little sky blue, laid in as solid flat fills. TEXTURE: aged cream or manila paper with faint watercolour unevenness inside the fills, or clean white for a single design. TIERS: the flash sheet tier is a wall-ready sheet or poster on aged paper with several designs; the single design tier is one bold emblem on white or a plain colour, for stickers, tees and tattoo designs. LETTERFORM COLOR PRIORITY: if the selected font defines its own letterform colour or material, that takes absolute priority; the red, yellow and black of the flash palette colour the letters only when the font does not specify. ATMOSPHERE: the black outlines, the flat red, yellow and green fills, the sparkles and the classic flash motifs always appear around the words regardless of letterform colour. When no specific material is defined by the font: default lighting - flat, even daylight on paper, no glow and no cast shadows, on aged cream paper or clean white. A single tattoo design on white: two swallows facing each other above the word 'LOYALTY', a nautical star between them.
