  Nice Font type for a Stone Mason ?

  Posted by Tim Painter on 10 May 2011 at 13:28

  Any suggestions for a suitable font for a stone mason, I realise that most isn’t hand cut these days but would look nice to have a font that looks like is was chiseled.

  Any suggestions appreciated.

  Hopefully Jill will come to my rescue

  Many Thanks

  I think 3-D or chiseled looking fonts might be too obvious.

  What about Trajan? http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/trajan/
  Beautiful and elegant and based on the carved letter forms at the base of Trajan’s Column in Rome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajan%27s_Column

  Tim I think you can do a reverse bevel in corel etc to give a printed font a chisselled look if thats what youre after
