need letter set - 3/16" - (if on stamp not reversed)

Hi,

I'm looking for a letter set, 5/32" - 3/16" high (caps only).
Stand-alone letters or on stamps. If on stamps, then not reversed.
(would produce a reversed image if you inked it...) They need to be at
least 1/32" thick (if on a smamp then raised that high), but
prefereably 1/16" thick.

Anyone know where I can get this?

(I found a reversed metal stamp set for stamping metal, but the letters
are not flat on top, they are rounded (one set looks pretty sharp) to
facilitate stamping steel. I need them to be flat.)


Thanks

all i can think of is maybe some toys. i've acquired some letters to
use for stamps - larger ones - from thrift store toy sections.

possibly e-bay, or matel toys?

i also once did a personal business card from using dry alphabet
letters. maybe you could exploit them for your project?

see ya

steve

Hi Kim

You don't say what you need these for.

What I do, is I download free fonts from the internet now and then - and use
fontlister.com 's program to test out my desired text in various fonts. When
I find a few I want to consider further, I type them into Word.

Then in Word I choose the text I want and adjust it to the size I want. Then
print and use a pin around the edges to copy it onto my clay.

Then gouge out the letters.

Not sure if this is a reasonable method for your project

interesting idea, i suppose one could even print out fancy fonts & use
them as templates to cut out larger stamps on cardboard. coat-paint
them later with varnish or something.

see ya

Stamps for decorating postcards are real popular here. You can buy
alphabet stamp sets and assemble your stamp into whatever you want to
print.

This is a google search for "rubber stamps" "alphabet set" :

I love using fonts---I have a table I made in word wthat will display all
the dingbat fonts I use with each corresponding letter in arial so I can see
what design each letter produces. So far I have over 900 fonts and 100 of
them are dingbat fonts. Once I have things I want--even possibly letter
sets, like this one---I have stamps made for me at ReadyStamps in San Diego.
I use freeware or shareware with permissions only---and there's a LOT of
those out there! They make fabulous stamps for use on paper, clay, or
fabric---not expensive, either! REady Stamps is NOT my business--its part of
the Cerebral Palsy Association and is a sheltered workshop, so pleasse send
orders to THEM, not to me. Its all on a page I built for them, including an
order form to make it easy.

So, lets start a new thread on "where's your favorite fonts to be found..?"
