Font Selection
One of the most important considerations with award engraving is the selection of a workable, attractive and appropriate font. The font refers to the character design set. It is not the typeface, but rather a combination of the typeface, size, and spacing to be used. Typeface describes the letter shape. An example of a typeface is that of Arial. The font can, however, be bold, italic or underlined. The two main fonts used are that of Sans Serif and Serif. When we refer to a Serif, we refer to lettering with a base at the bottom. The Times Roman typeface has a serif at the base of each letter. Sans Serif describes lettering without any form of anchor or base.
It is important to select an appropriate font for award engraving that will also fit the specific audience. If the award is for children, you can go with a lighter and more fun font such as a Comic Sans. Should the award be for a business achievement, it is better to go with a straightforward font. It is also essential to make use of the same fonts in the same family group for a coherent look and feel.
If you want to create a fancy appearance, you can use a drop cap effect where the first letter is larger than the rest of the wording. Stay clear from too many capitals. You can also use vertical lettering in combination with horizontal wording for a more dramatic effect. Our experts in award engraving will help you select an appropriate font and lay-out.
