Hi all, So I would like to know what everyone's fallback fonts. In other words, which fonts would you use for general sign design, not counting specialized fonts. Fonts used for descriptions of services offered from a company. And, which fonts do you absolutely stay away from. Overused fonts...

Hi all, Im quoting a job for a restaurant with some cabinet signs with extra long (to me anyways) polycarb. One is 25" x 18', 4' x 24', and 25" x 29'. I think its pretty silly to use sheets in that length, and was going to use sheets in more manageable lengths, 8' mostly. My questions is how...
