Are you looking for more font options for your next neon sign?
This post is an extension to the article I published a few months ago - read the top 13 neon sign fonts article. This new post adds more font ideas, including neon letters and cursive fonts for customers.
Choosing the right font for a neon sign can be tricky, so the intention is to offer more options for customers to consider in their decision-making process.
- Choosing a neon sign font can be tricky, but sticking to single-line fonts is usually the best option.
- Double and triple-line fonts require more LED neon flex and need to be bigger to have adequate spacing, so they cost more.
Let's dive in.
Cursive Fonts
Cursive fonts flow like handwriting. They are well suited to quotes, love messages, weddings, and name signs, as they look like handwritten messages.
Double and Triple-Line Fonts
Double and triple-line fonts require spacing between the lines within the letters. This means the letters and the overall sign need to be bigger.
In addition, because double and triple-line fonts have more lines, they need more LED neon flex.
Both of these factors make signs with double and triple-line fonts more expensive.
