Choosing the right font for your vinyl lettering
When creating your own vinyl lettering consider the intended use and viewing distance before choosing a particular font. The font can have a considerable impact on the readibility and context of the letters after applied.
Script Style Fonts
Script style fonts, alson know as fancy or cursive fonts can be a really nice accent to any lettering. For example if you are putting some lettering on your business storefont you need to think about how far away people will see the lettering, will the font you choose be readable from a considerable distance? Typically with script style fonts they are not very readible from a distance. The can be a distinct disadvantage for your and your establishment as customers may not be able to read your store name or what you specialize in. Since there are varying degrees of script fonts there can be variations to this rule. Some styles can be considerably easier to read from far away while others aren't. If you are set on using a script style then use one that is thick and easier to read than one that is thin and contains a lot of flare.
Thin Styled Letters
These are the lettering styles that consist of thin walled fills and are only readable up close. Avoid these for applications where you want people to see your text easily.
Block Lettering
Vinyl lettering in the block style is the most ideal for use when viewed at a distance. This is fonts such as impact, or arial black. We have made it easy at custom vinyl lettering to create block style lettering. Since block lettering is thick and boldened you won't have to worry about it being seen.
Some fonts just suck
Sometimes there are fonts that you just shouldn't use. One powerful argument is over comic sans. Although comic sans is a very readable font, it is not a very professional looking font. If you are looking at using your lettering on a boat then you may be ok using something like that. Although you will find fonts that just don't work for anything. We have tried to weed out all of the fonts that fit into that category from our site because there are a lot out there. If you visit a site like dafont.com you will see quickly that some fonts on there you just can't read at all. Now think about getting vinyl lettering made out of one of those fonts.
