Hemera

A sophisticated vintage Victorian era fonts, inspired from the old advertising and classic sign back in circa 1800 - 1900s. Perfectly fit for your vintage vibes and classic touch on any stamped works of art, Hemera II will add that flair for the dramatic you're looking for!

Quirks of this font:

• The uppercase is significantly larger than the lowercase, and this is by design from the foundry.
• The UPPERCASE is large and swirly. We are calling this the "ALTERNATE" set because the "lowercase" looks like uppercase letters. 
• The LOWERCASE is called "UPPERCASE" in this set because the letters are all uppercase letters. 
• The full set of this font would be called: Alternate 01, Uppercase, Numbers, Symbols.
• The Alternate set comes in the following sizes: 5mm, 7.5mm and 10mm. 
• The Uppercase of this set comes in the following sizes: 2.5mm, 3.75mm, 5mm
• The Numbers and Symbols are sized to go with the UPPERCASE set, NOT the Alternate set. 
• The Symbol set comes with (03) stamps: ? ! &

STYLES AVAILABLE:

• This font comes in two styles: Regular and Outline
• They are sized the same way, so all descriptions and sizing for Hemera also apply to Hemera Outline

Stamp sizing:

• Smallest full set: 5mm Alternate 01, 2.5mm Uppercase, 2.5mm Numbers, 2.5mm Symbols
• Medium full set: 7.5mm Alternate 01, 3.75 Uppercase, 3.75mm Numbers, 3.75mm Symbols
• Largest full set: 10mm Alternate 01, 5mm Uppercase, 5mm Numbers, 5mm Symbols

Shank sizing:

• Shank sizes: Everything under 7.5mm comes on 1/4" shanks, with the exception of the R in the 5mm Uppercase set -- this one letter is on 5/16" shanks.
• Shank sizes: The 7.5mm Alternate set comes on 3/8" shanks.
• Shank sizes: The 10mm set comes on 1/2" blanks.

My two cents:

• In my "Four Categories of Fonts" blog post, I would consider this font to fall into the FUN category. 
• This font comes in two styles: Regular and Outline
• They are sized the same way, so all descriptions and sizing for Hemera also apply to Hemera Outline
• This font is VERY thick lined, and while crafted to work in all metals, I do not recommend the 7.5mm and 10mm sets for stainless steel as it will be very difficult to fill in color.
• That being said, I had a much easier time coloring in the Hemera Outline sets in 7.5mm and 10mm in stainless steel (as opposed to regular Hemera).
• Hemera and Hemera Outline are PERFECT for soft metals in all sizes!
• This wide font is PERFECT for leather work!!
• This font has a spooky, old timey feel to it, right? I'd find myself grabbing for it for all my witchy, spooky, haunting, Halloween themes, too! But don't be afraid to try it as a Christmas theme!! And, as you can see from each of my examples, there are SO MANY ways this font can be used for ANY theme!! Check out the "educational Rockstar", "Ground Control to Major Tom", "Never go in against a Sicilian when Death is on the line", "Sometimes I have no idea what I'm doing" examples! No themes there, and these font sets are INCREDIBLE!
