Pattern Letter Fonts

Pattern letter fonts are used for a variety of purposes. When used with foundry patterns or match plates, the pattern letters are attached to the pattern. The letters or numbers identify and give the name and part numbers of the casting. This enables the customer to identify and order correct replacement parts. The leading style for pattern letters is a SHARP FACE GOTHIC. It is a clean design that draws perfectly from sand. Gothic style is illustrated above.

Some letters and numbers are used more frequently than others. An assortment that has multiples of these letters and numbers is called a Letter Font. Using a Pattern Letter Font helps to eliminate the constant problem of re-ordering the more frequently used letters and numbers.
