A guide to stone grave headstone and Design - forms of the letters


!±8± A guide to stone grave headstone and Design - forms of the letters

When designing a headstone, please note that the writing style does not only affect the readability of the inscription, is also the tone and character of the stone tomb.

For example, a pillar roman letterform is an air of eternity slate and should not be the doubt of all formal and upright, but a course of light to bring the letter and change the atmosphere and the registration has become blurred. I think fashion should be avoided so letterformStone will long outlast the current trend, why carve letters in stone, so they can take. Instead of a calligraphic background My inspiration came mainly from the printed letterform.

I grew up next to a private press, where my mother worked as a typesetter, and their ancient writings made an impression on me. The old schools and colleges, in particular, are prone to a more conservative approach and classical inscriptions please - do not read, eccentric. Thetimeless atmosphere, many of the plaques hanging in these old institutions is of great importance - over time, are difficult to date.

I find ancient scripts, such as Caslon and Baskerville require a great deal of discipline to do well. Since I have a lot of my customers who want something other than the grave, just because I say carving letters by hand, do not have to be crazy and clever, with the inscription. All tombstones really need is a good company and logorefined distance-balanced.

This takes the longest.
