Convex / Prismatic / Beveled
I'm fairly certain that Convecta (released in 2000 when four fonts made up the entire Letterhead Fonts catalog) was the first layered convex font ever created. I'd never seen a layered font set before and wanted to make something that my fellow sign artists could cut out of vinyl to create a dimensional effect. Convex, prismatic, beveled, whatever you decide to call it, all fonts in this category are designed with a base font and an additional font or fonts containing convex (or beveled) shapes that gets placed on top to create a dimensional appearance. Coloring the top layer with a gradient color slightly darker or lighter than the color used for the base font achieves very eye-catching results quickly. These dimensional fonts are very time-consuming to create and require a great deal of skill. Here's how we do it.
