Choosing a font: tips from the engravers
Think about distance
Bench plaques are read from a step or two away. Classic Roman and Modern stay clearest.
Save script for names
Script looks beautiful on a name, but long lines in script are hard to read.
Capitals for small plates
Engraved capitals keep tiny lettering crisp on small plates.
Mix two at most
A script name with Roman text underneath is a popular, balanced combination.
Welsh accents
All our fonts engrave Welsh characters such as ŵ and ŷ correctly.
