Need help. This font looks like Handcut Mod Roman font similar to what I purchased off website, but when cut it seems much bolder than what is sold. Using Flexi Sign Pro software not sure how to make more bold. Thanks!
Hello John, this is a common issue with hand-cut lettering, as the boldness of the letter depended on whether the stencil cutter followed just inside or just outside of the lines on the stencil with the knife blade. Even the angle of the knife blade can make a difference if it was not held completely vertical. Sometimes the Spacerite letters would be used but a slightly bolder letter was desired so a conscious effort was made to thicken up the letters, so there can be a lot of variance.
You’ll need to consult the Flexi Sign manual on page 59 to see instructions on adding an outline to a font in order to make it bolder.
