Laser engraving with True Type fonts on anodized aluminum

Another order from the left-handed shop.
Short names are easier to read if engraved with a slightly wider font. However, we do not use BOLD formatting for this. Aluminum always tends to spread out a little wider when doing a raster engraving.
