The fact that a font is listed here does not mean it can be produced. Custom fonts must be approved by our production team before we will accept the job. In general, suspect fonts would be anything that is really thin or has curly loops or even those that are super wide. We reserve the right to alter any font that does not meet the production or pricing standard.
This list is not by any means exhaustive and other fonts can be added to the list by emailing leigh@signlettersource.com with the name of the font you would like us to add. We will add it the next business day or sooner if possible and send you an email to let you know it was added and ready for use. For security, we do not allow uploading.
None of the fonts listed have been checked for height accuracy. The overall length on the preview may or may not be totally accurate. If you have a maximum area you are working with then you must let us know when you order. We will email you a proof with actual dimensions that you MUST approve before any order is accepted for production.

Aligns the display output(below) either left, right or center justified. This image is passed along in your order. Alignment requires 2 or more lines of text. TIP: You can also indent text by using spaces before and after the text to move the line text to the left or right.
Sets a background to the preview so that you can judge the text color against a background color. Backgrounds are not provided in the order. All letters come as individual letters or numbers. We do not make the sign, we help you to make your sign.
Cut letters can be made in almost any size including fractions and lowercase and punctuation. Letter sizes are based on the inch and incur a price change when fractional as in 3-1/2 inch would be iced at the 4" cost so try not to go over by small amounts because even 1/8 over any inch mark will put you to the next price inch.
Cut letters are made from solid sheet. The thicker they get the more expensive and heavier they get. Small sizes are restricted to a maximum 3/8" depth but larger sizes can go to a full inch. Thick letters in cut metals are not very cost effective and if you are looking at anything over 3/8" you should take a look at cast metal letters in bronze or aluminum, or Fabricated stainless and aluminum letters which can have depths up to 6"!
This product is size and font dependent. Small sizes under 2 inches can only be made in block fonts and all capitals whereas most larger sizes can be made in any font regardless of if it's on our list. If you have your own font or your own artwork then we can accommodate that and there is usually no price difference. Send artwork in illustrator vector outlines to sales@signlettersource.com and include as much details about size, thickness, finish, mounts etc for a quick custom quote.
Type in the letters, numbers and punctuation, exactly as you want it to read when you make your sign. For multiple line signs, there are 3 other lines that will become available. What you type is what you will get. If lower case letters typed and the size is too small or lower case is not available in the chosen font, those letters will automatically convert to upper case and should convert back again when you change the height or size to something that has availability. What you type here will display in the preview area to the left along with correct real world dimensions. All letters are sent to you as individual letters and numbers, not as a ready made sign.
If you only want a series of numbers or numbers and letters for doors, then type them all in on line 1. Separate with a space but do not add comma's There is no need to add one number for each line.
If you want larger leading capitals in a phrase then you have to add the larger caps on a separate line.
Corten Rusting steel does not come pre-rusted. This material will rust over time when used outdoors. To speed up the rusting process a solution of vinegar and water can be used to mist the letters daily and there are also commercially available chemical solutions that can be purchased to chemically produce this effect. We do not offer painting of this product but it can be painted with brush or automotive sprays. Some pitting will be evident in the steel and the letters may arrive with some rusting but usually the cutting process nullifies the rust appearance that has accumulated prior to cutting.
Cut letters can be configured in various ways but they are dependent on the finish of the letters and the heights and fonts also. We try to present the choices available for the choices you have made elsewhere in this ordering page.
The factory recommends 2" of stud in the wall plus the amount of wall standoff desired, if any. In most cases it is best to leave this option at factory set unless you know you want longer studs for a special purpose installation
Wall standoff refers to how far you want the back of the letters to be from the surface you are mounting them on. The factory will calculate the correct stud length and if choosing this option then it's best to leave the stud length at factory set.
The spacing guide does not provide drill locations for studs and should not be ordered where you have chosen a stud or combination type mount. For all stud type mounts you need a full size pattern shown above. This pattern cannot be ordered after the letters have shipped. The factory need the letters in hand to provide any form of pattern or guide.
We make no profit on the pattern. We sell the pattern at our cost which is $3.25 per letter. Our competition typically charge $4.50 per letter which is the MSRP. Patterns are not returnable.
When a quantity is set(such as for 2 sides of a sign), you only pay for and get one mounting pattern UNLESS the mount type is stud, combination or combination all. In that case you will need a mounting pattern for each set because the stud locations are never in the same position even when the letters are identical. This is due to the manufacturing process where the stud holes or mounting blocks are placed by hand after the letters are cut, cast or molded. The order totals will reflect this.
