Some Thoughts form the Print Shop Leather Sample Above: All Type Faces Debossed no Foil This sample is to help ones understanding of how the various weights of the type faces can enhance or detract from the quality of the imprint or monogram This is an important factor when deciding on a type face. This leather has a fairly smooth finish so most any type face will work. Even the Italian Old Style, althoug h light, still shows up. However if the leather is pebbled or has another ty pe of rougher surface the Italian Old Style could get lost in the pattern and not be legible. It is advisable to avoid a type face that is thinner/lighter than the texture of the leather being imprinted or monogrammed. In contrast the Bookman is a heavier face and although shows up strongly here it has the tendency to cause the letters to run together or run over into the next adjoining letter, particularly when using foil. The Goudy Cursive, English Caslon and News Gothic for example are more what we call a Book Weight. Meaning, in the middle between a light face and a heavy face. A Book Weight type face gives you the advantage as it will overcome many textured leather and print clean and crisp |
