Fonts For Metal Plaques

What fonts can I use on a plaque? 

Almost any font can be produced on Gemini Plaques. A good rule to go by is the more detail in a font, the larger the letter will need to be. The fonts listed in the table below are recommended for making plaques with the smallest possible letters.

The minimum required letter heights below refer to the "Cap Height". The producibility of the lowercase letters that follow that capital letter are accounted for in that measurement.

Each font listed below is available in uppercase and lowercase letters. The raised and recessed values are sometimes similar and sometimes very different due to the unique attributes of each font.
