Below is a sample of each font for dimensional letters available in our online store (other fonts are available on request, cost varies with font). When selecting a font it is important to keep in mind the area of which you have to work with. For example, if you have a 3' x 20' area and you want to put "SAN MARCOS APARTMENTS" in 12" Helvetica as one line, you need to count the letters and spaces (21 in this case) and multiply that times the average letter width for that font (21 x 10.25" avg. width = 215.25") to confirm that there is room for your copy. This method is good as a rule of thumb to aid you in buying your letters. If  margins are slim and you need to be exact you can contact us with your details at email@stockcustomsigns.com and we will layout your copy in selected font and determine the exact sizes of the area needed for you. Please remember that we want you to get the most out of your letters/numbers and we are there to help and advise you in the best direction.
