Interior plaques, door numbers and boutique entrances where solid metal weight is part of the impression. It sits in our banks and professional services work more often than anywhere else.
Gold-plated steel reads as gold from three metres and as plating from thirty centimetres. On a door plate, a club entrance or a jeweller's counter, the viewer is at thirty centimetres. Solid brass solves that, at the cost of weight and of a decision about patina.
Professional practices usually arrive with a serif wordmark, a fixed corporate colour and a building they do not own. All three narrow the build considerably. See the single letter and low volume orders route for how this is specified on a live job.

Two builds in real brass: one water jet cut from solid plate, one fabricated and mirror polished. Both are for interiors and entrances where the weight of the metal is part of the impression.
The alternative constructions in this catalogue are set out in fabricated or flat cut which construction to use, and the illumination choices in frontlit backlit or edge lit.
Solid brass is heavy; tape fixing only works up to a certain size, so confirm the letter height first.
The wording is read from close range on a brushed metal backing plate, where a fabricated letter's return and soldered seam would have dominated the small letterforms.
Process GuideThe construction decision is usually made by the letter height, and getting it wrong is visible from two metres away.
