Thin single line engraving

Hello all. How can I achieve a thin single line Edwardian font for engraving, I am a Mac user with an Ortur Master engraver.

Thanks in advance

Laser wise by applying a correct focus distance for a thin line.

Regarding Lighburn you need to apply the appropriate speed and power settings.
Usually you want sort of low power with higher speeds. If higher speeds are a no-go for your laser (e.g. inertia problems), decrease speed and power until you reach a satisfactory result.

“Single Line” I believe is the important thing here - you would need to find a single line version of this font. TrueType fonts are always closed paths, but it is possible for the path to overlap itself, so some fonts exist that do this.

Have a look, maybe you find one you can use.

Many thanks Roy.
