Athena Layout of vinyl letters in a Balmoral Font. The letters were ordered 150mm height.
There is an important note to be made about the Balmoral font. First it only works when used as upper and lower case and does not read very well when used only as capital letters, also when we work with the Balmoral font we have to edit and weld the text to join up the words and create a sentence that works.
Another point about the Balmoral font is that the Capital height of the letters hold little relationship to its measured height, so when a customer orders 150mm high letters in the Balmoral font for instance the lettering is input on the computer as 150mm capital height but the actual total height comes out as 233mm measured from the very top to the bottom of the Capital letters or more.
150mm is the Capital height, the call up height, while the 233mm is the total measured height.
When a customer orders 150mm high letters the letters will actually measure more than 150mm they will measure at least 233mm high or more depending on the wording.
When we did this order for the customer we decided to supply the letters at both heights and leave them to decide which size lettering will fit the best on their sign.
