See-Through Bold

A full-bleed poster style — one photographic scene under three rows of massive bold characters whose strokes let the scene shine through. Four fields.

Winter sea swim

Two runs of the same template. A studio scene under translucent rows beside a grey winter beach and a line of swimmers walking in — same knife-clean edges, same soft fills, opposite temperatures.

Generated from this template with the fields shown above — the studio scene fills the frame, the three rows press on translucent with knife-clean edges, and the trails run straight through the letters. Run-to-run quirks: how much of the scene's glow reaches the top row varies with the described light; the sharp-edge soft-fill law holds every time.

You fill in 4 fields — the braced lines at the top. Everything below them is fixed.

  1. 1The subject
  2. 2The scene, in one breath
  3. 3The three rows
  4. 4The type's base tone

See-Through Bold

Produce ONE image: a portrait poster of one scene pressed with three see-through rows of type, in the fixed style world below. Follow every line. Replace only the FIELDS block; the style itself is not negotiable.

First — do you have the fields?

If any field below still has braces around it, stop and ask. Put all the questions in one short message, and show the example under each one so they can see the shape of a useful answer. Wait for the replies, then draw. Never fill a brace yourself: a value you invented is a value nobody asked for, and it will look exactly as considered as the ones they did give you.

Ask in whatever language they are writing to you in. Translate the questions and the examples; do not make someone read English to tell you what they want.

The examples are only examples. If someone answers a question, use their answer; never fall back to the example because you prefer it.

If the fields are already filled in, ignore this and carry on.

Fields — replace these four lines only

  • The subject: {what this poster announces} e.g. an AI design platform's season poster
  • The scene, in one breath: {the full-frame image — place, light, two or three concrete details} e.g. a dark studio desk at night, one huge screen pouring violet light-trails that curl like ribbons, the glow catching the desk edge and a coffee cup
  • The three rows: {three short lines, slash-separated} e.g. SCRUB / PASTE / SHIP
  • The type's base tone: {a warm base, and how it may blend} e.g. warm cream, blending toward violet where the trails pass beneath

Print only the three rows. The style may not add a border, a badge, a date or any other word.

The style world — fixed

  • Portrait 4:5. The described scene IS the poster: it fills one hundred percent of the frame, edge to edge, rich in colour and believable in light, with no frame, vignette or added grain.
  • The type presses onto it: the three rows stacked and centred in the upper sixty percent of the frame, each row the same height, in ultra-heavy sans caps set tight. The block sits visually heavy and stable, like weight resting on the image.
  • The strokes are windows: fills run at roughly one-third to one-half opacity, so the scene's colour, texture and light continue inside every letter. The base tone warms the fills and takes up the scene's hues where they pass beneath — a soft gradient earned from the image, never painted on.
  • Edges are law: every letter's outline stays perfectly sharp — no blur, no glow, no feathering. Crisp shape, translucent body.
  • The scene's best details sit where letters reveal them; the unlettered zones keep their full depth and saturation, so image and type flatter each other.

Every poster must

  • ✓ carry the three rows verbatim and no other characters
  • ✓ keep fills translucent and edges knife-sharp
  • ✓ let the scene stay legible through and around the type
  • ✓ hold three equal-height rows, centred, upper zone
  • ✓ read as one print, not text pasted on a photo

Never

  • ✕ solid opaque lettering, outlines-only lettering, or glow
  • ✕ borders, badges, logos, small print, dates
  • ✕ a fourth row, or rows of visibly different scale
  • ✕ blur behind the text to make it pop — the blend is the craft
  • ✕ flat vector scenes — the image must have photographic depth

The result

One image wearing three words: the scene seen twice — once around the letters, once through them — and a name pressed into the picture the way ink presses into paper.

The whole template, in one piece. The steps below are the entire workflow.

How to use it

  1. Copy the whole template with the button above.
  2. Replace the four FIELDS lines — describe the scene like a photograph you already took, then choose the three rows.
  3. Paste it into any image-capable agent or model, in one message. One run returns the portrait poster.
  4. Re-season it by swapping scene and rows — the press stays, the world behind the letters changes.

What you swap

The subject
an AI design platform's season poster
The scene, in one breath
a dark studio desk at night, one huge screen pouring violet light-trails that curl like ribbons, the glow catching the desk edge and a coffee cup
The three rows
SCRUB / PASTE / SHIP
The type's base tone
warm cream, blending toward violet where the trails pass beneath

Before it runs

  • A scene with real light and texture — flat art gives the letters nothing to reveal.
  • Three short rows — one word each is strongest; long rows shrink the type and kill the press.
  • A base tone that contrasts the scene's darkest zone, or the top row sinks.

When to reach for it

When one image and three words are the whole message — a season, a launch, an exhibition. The scene sells the feeling; the see-through type stamps the name on it without hiding it.

What changes

  • A finished portrait poster: the described scene fills every pixel, and three stacked rows of ultra-bold type press onto it like a print pass.
  • The letters are windows — their strokes run at partial transparency, so the scene's colour, texture and light continue inside every character.
  • Edges stay razor-sharp while fills stay translucent: the hard-outline-soft-fill contrast is the style's signature.
  • The type base tone warms toward cream and takes on the scene's own hues in the blend, so poster and photograph read as one print.
  • Nothing else is allowed on the page — no badges, borders or small print — which is what gives the three words their weight.
