I know lettering is important that is why I want to focus on it.
I have seen a lot of nice hand engraved letters and I want to do it right.
it is not easy to explain for me, that is why I made some examples.
On the first example A, I tried to cut the bends at the bottom of the letters in one movement.
On the second example B, I made the bends ot the bottom in two movements,except for the capital letters, they are done the same way, like scrolls.
The third example is done like B, and the one I think is the best way to do it
In example B, I cut the lines from top of the letter lo the bottom, making a bend to join both cuts.
This is the one I prefer most, because this way the "bright cut" has the same angle. If I make the bend in one movement, the "bright cut" reflects the other way.
I tried to cut the lines from thin to thicker and back to thin, using both deeper cut and bevelling to the outside.
Can someone help me out with this, I knoiw it is not the same for all letter types, but the snell font is a nice letter and can be done fast.
