Chiselled Fonts

[Phill Fenton]

Ingram software do a CD that is exclusively chisseled fonts. This is a british company that also do vehicle outlines. I bought the CD some time ago but to be honest once the novelty has worn off it doesn’t get used very much. You’re better off buying Mikes “Secrets of design” CD which explains all manner of effects that you can create and apply to fonts yourself. 😀

Richard when doing chisels colour choice is real important, only use shades of the same colour as 2 diferent colours clash real bad as in the red and blue and red & yellow yuk!

If you go to http://www.signdna.com you can buy Dan’s fonts which I use quite alot, or if you use Signlab E6 it has a built in module for creating a similar chisel effect.

Or if you output work to the Edge or Roland, you can build your own using filters in Photoshop.

Or just play around yourself a little.

The Fontry also do some chisel fonts,
