The Power of Fonts

In today’s day and age, there is a seemingly infinite number of fonts for people to choose from when writing, typing, or engraving something. Some fonts, such as block letters or bold fonts, give off a feeling of power; on the other hand, italicized, cursive, or brush letters tend to come with a more flashy vibe. From serif fonts to sans-serif fonts, from cursive fonts to speed fonts, and everything in between, whatever type of feel you’d like the text to give off, we will work with you to select a font that will do that.

There’s no such thing as a tone of voice with words that are written as opposed to spoken. You cannot hear or detect a person’s mood as easily with written words as you can when you hear them with your ears. However, your choice of font can help make up some of that ground. Something as small as a serif- or a small triangle or line- besides the stem of a letter can portray a different tone than a font without it, and it could make all the difference between portraying your true tone or not.

Throughout the age of the internet, various people and systems have crafted a seemingly infinite array of different font styles that can be used on websites or documents… or in our case, on the item, you’d like us to engrave. When you’re looking to engrave a special item with Dockside Engraving, you can choose from just about any of them- if we can access that font, we can engrave your item with it!
