Font
All standard text embossing is done in our house font GOUDY, which looks like this:
Size
Our embossers will choose the font size based on the book size and the length of your inscription. We have three font sizes in our set: 18 pt., 24 pt., and 36 pt. Generally, initials will be done in a larger font than full names, to keep the proportions balanced.
Color
Most items are embossed "blind," with no color fill, or with gold foil. Blind embossing uses a combination of heat and pressure to permanently brand the leather with your inscription. Gold embossing uses the same exact process, except we add in a thin layer of gold leaf as we press into the leather. Each item has specific recommendations for color. Other colors are available by special request.

How long can my inscription be?
Most items can be embossed with two lines of text embossing, up to 20 characters each (including spaces). Some larger items can have longer inscriptions, and some smaller ones will be limited to initials. Additional lines can be added by special request. Please see the individual item specs for details - we have made recommendations for each product. Bear in mind that small pocket books will not have enough room for long inscriptions.
Logos and Images
Logos and graphics can be embossed. Extra time and cost are needed to have your design made into a custom metal stamp. Please email info@jennibick.com for more information.
Special Requests
We are happy to help you with special requests if you want a different color or position for your inscription. Just add a note to your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
