Hand Engraving Lettering Styles
We offer 4 different lettering styles.
Le Griffe
This style has a lovely range of curves and angles to the lettering. It is not as fancy as the swirls in script lettering.
Script
Script lettering is a lovely fancy style, it has lots of swirls and curves. It is a great style on the cufflinks and pill boxes as initials can be entwined together.
Times Italic
This style is like time bold but leans to the right giving it the italic style.
Times Bold
This style is upright and has no fancy swirls.
Script
This cufflinks has script lettering, the letters are not entwined and we cut several lines for each letter in a threaded script style. The letters are deeply cut out by hand which gives a 3d effect.
Entwined Script
These cufflinks with JR and JMB on the fronts are also script lettering, you can see that the bottom of the J has been entwined into the R, this is all done by hand, we may draw several times the best way for the lettering to be entwined together, this is not done by computer it is done by experience. It all depends on the actual letters, the shape of them, also the shape of what they are being hand engraved onto to design something that compliments that.
Le Griffe
