Personalized Blackletter Parchment Kim Red Playing Cards

I apologize that the text design is not editable. It simply can't be with this typeface, which is not part of Zazzle's fonts, nor with the text effect I have created. If you wish to see a different word, name or anything else in this style, the design on a different product, or in different colors, please email me at mail@galleryhakon.com with requests and I will get to it right away. Many of the names I do in my personalized designs today are done because I initially got a request for a design. My sixth series of personalized products using a nice Blackletter font that reminds me of designs I have seen on early 20th Century sheet music for classical pieces. The capitals have nice lines added to them for extra flair, yet not so much - as you get in some typefaces - that it severely reduces legibility. Of all the blackletter fonts I have seen, I think this one strikes a good balance between clarity and classical elegance. To give it a richer look, I have made the type in two shades of the same color rather than one, the edges of the letters a deeper hue. Although the effect is evenly spaced, it gives that subtle impression of letters first contoured and then filled in, adding to the organic quill on parchment look I have been going for. As the templates I use for this are standardized for names of any size, I apologize if shorter or longer ones might be slightly off balance in some designs. I try to make my templates universal for a series of designs, but it's not always easy, particularly on curved objects like clocks and watches. In some cases, it will look better if you enlarge the name or move it up or down a tad, so please experiment to find the ideal position and size. Please contact me if you need help with this as I’ll be happy to do it for you. Personalized designs make the perfect and extra personal gift for special occasions such as Valentine’s Day, birthdays, baptisms, mitzwahs, first holy communions, confirmations, graduations and really any other occasion when you want to show someone you care. It is also nice as a special treat for yourself, to proudly display your personality or sense of style.
