Frosted
Frosted Outline lettering is an outstanding choice for surname inscriptions. Combining a sunken outline and a frosted letter, this lettering style is ideally suited for all medium to dark colors. On smaller grained granites, this style works for all lettering. Due to the characteristics of larger grained granites, this lettering style is not recommended for inscriptions under 1 1/2″ tall. Choosing inlaid lettering or sunken lettering for individual names and inscriptions compliments this style very well.
Inlaid
Inlaid lettering provides excellent contrast on medium to darker colored granites. On black granites it allows a minimalist approach to the lettering preserving the maximum amount of polished surface as possible.
