Engraving Fonts

Letter Style

Using names with plain text to personalize an item is a popular choice. A first or last name, first and last name, or first, middle, and last name can be engraved depending on available space. For some items it may be necessary to engrave on multiple lines to include the full name. This is a common choice for those who would like to include a date as well. (Robert David Smith)

A traditional three letter traditional monogram includes three initials with the last initial larger in the center with the first initial on the left and the middle initial on the right. (Robert David Smith)

Three letter initials with all letters the same size in order of first, middle and last initials. (Robert David Smith)

A single letter initial typically utilizes the last initial. (Robert David Smith)

For couples with the same last name a traditional three letter monogram can be used with the last initial centered larger in the center and the couple’s first initials on either side. (Rita & Matthew Smith)

Date Style

For smaller items we recommend a numerical date where numbers are separated by slashes, dashes, periods or center dots.

An alphanumeric date is a great option when the item has enough room.
