Fonts And Leather Work

[King's X]

I have see lettering fonts of different styles and I thought I would start this thread to see what responses I get. So here it is.

What is your favorite font you like to use in your leather work projects? Carved or stamped.

Extra point question, if you want to answer: Why is it your favorite font style?

Thanks in advance to all those that decided to respond.

Happy Carving!

I'll reply man.

First of all, I hate carving letters. But. When I have in the past, I much rather prefer to carve than stamp.

As far as a favorite? No favorite, as it depends on the artwork the lettering is going with. I do however, think that lettering looks best when carved inverted.

I like to do mostly modern script but am trying to get good at edwardian script and seeing as how there are no stamps for them I have to carve them which is good practice for me, lots of scrolls and fine detail, thats why i like it anyway.

I like to use Print Shop. They have a font called "wired" makes the letters look 3D.

I started using that style to pratice which side of cut that gives me the efect i am

looking for. It traces and transfer good.

I can't get it to show up here because I don't know how to convert a word file into a pdf file but it is just a standard font in ms word, I also found it and a bunch of other script type fonts on ez font.com and almost all of them are free.

I like the carved letters, much more personal. I use any font I like for the moment and then jazz-it-up with swirls and scrolls or something:-)
