Bronze offers a comprehensive line of sign letters to enhance the image
of any organization. Metal letters have a traditional and distinguished
appeal.  Letters can be produced in a
variety of methods, including cast and water-jet cut. We
offer metal lettering in bronze, muntz, aluminum, brass, copper and
stainless steel. We are able to produce almost every popular
letter style and our commitment to quality ensures attractive results
regardless of which material or finish you choose. An optional baked-on
polyurethane protective coating preserves the metal finish.
Letter
Size:
Letters that are too small to read are commonplace in many signs
today. For a quick reference on what size
letters are needed for
your sign; examine the visibility
 chart taken from the research
conducted by the University of Pennsylvania
State and the United States
Sign Council. See our visibility chart below.
Color
& Contrast: Letters
that blend in with their background become illegible at moderate
distances. This applies to polished metal letters that may
reflect
a similar color as the sign background to the viewer making them
unreadable; dark letters that may blend into a building brick
or
stone; or other letters where there is a small level of
contrast
between the letter color and the background. The amount and
type
of lighting is important as well to overall legibility.
 White/Negative Space: Simply
enlarging letters does not make them more readable. Proper letter
kerning (the space between letters) and leading (the space between
lines of
text) have almost
as much
to do with legibility as
letter
size. Maintaining a high degree of white or negative space is important
to keep the letters from running together or running
into other
distractions around the sign.
