engraved door knocker fonts
Examples of the fonts used for the YDK line of engraved door knockers.
Notice that the difference between the Modern version and the ULC version of a font is the lower case letters. The Modern version reflects the newer more recognizeable letter where the ULC uses the old world smaller size of the capital.
When engraving in a rectangular area without a lot of vertical space such as is found on many door knockers, the ULC version is preferred because there are no "descenders" or letters that go below the base line thus causing the rest of the letters to be smaller to fit in the space.
This is discussed in more detail on this page Engraved Door Knocker.
All fonts contain a full set of upper case and lower case letters as well as numbers and most punctuations.
