Using the latest computer-aided technology, Matthews can produce cast metal letters in virtually any letterstyle. Since the actual letters are cast, not cut, there is no cost difference between serif and non-serif letters.

Custom letterstyles are initially generated from a digital file. Matthews has access to fonts from the following sources:

Adobe Illustrator

Gerber Graphix Advantage (Standard Fonts)

If the font required is not available from one of these sources or it has been modified in any way (Ex: italicized, condensed or expanded), provide artwork by one of the following methods:

Attachment to an e-mail

Floppy disk, Zip disk or CD-ROM

Camera-ready art able to be scanned

Be sure to refer to the Artwork section for complete instructions on how to send.

Standard depths for custom cast letters are:

3/8" Depth

1/2" Depth

Letters cast in any of the standard depths will be cast solid, flat-backed.

Deeper letters will require special tooling and will be cast hollow, with return flanges.

In addition to standard flat face letters, many letterstyles can be successfully converted to a prismatic face through either CAD equipment or hand carved by a pattern maker.

round-face cast letters.
