| FONTS AND VINYL COLOURS AVAILABLE - |
| In producing a sign there are many things to consider. The following is a list of the categories under which are the various elements of any sign - Size, Colour, Content, Colour, Font, Graphics etc... and price of course!
On this page I am presenting the current range of colours and fonts. When choosing colours, contrast is very important. However, some colours in combination with backgrounds read better than others. The table below includes a few examples of these.

| 4 | Font (Lettering Style)... | |
| From thousands of fonts available, for simplicity I have selected a list of those that are commonly used on signs, and these I illustrate under this category. There are, of course, many others in my library, and any of these are available on request.
Fonts are arranged in 'families' - GOTHIC, ROMAN, and Cursive Most of these come in four styles - NORMAL, BOLD, ITALIC, BOLD ITALIC. All can be produced as REGULAR, or in MIRROR IMAGE (Reverse cut for application to the inside surface of windows). Enter the name of the font of your choice, its style and if regular or 'mirror image'.
