Spacing your letters

The traditional method is to set the letter stamp adjacent to the other stamp

like this

This in my opinion leaves a gap in between the letters

I place the edge of the stamp next to letter

look at the two examples

upper is the traditional method

lower is the way I do it

the space is about a 1/16” (1.58mm). Which is not a lot but it looks better to me

To my eye, I too prefer the proportional spaceing we get generally with computer (or typesetting) letters, rather than the monospacing a typewritter delivers.

Man,   You are not going to guess what this stamp is 

here is a hint, stamp is rotated 90 degrees

Still have not achieved the 3 D look that you did.  But while trying to pull it off I came across something rather interesting 

but,  I need you to pick up where I am leaving off and take it all the way 

I made a double using c-830 and c-429

can you try and make both designs 3-D?

I think it will be rather bad ass

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.
