A British artist named Alan Brich in 1983 created a new type of writing style which is called as rubber stamp font. The name was given because the rubber stamp gives an impression of word being written by an old typewriter. Later in 1990 this rubber stamp font became very popular among designer and it was used almost in every headline or on t-shirts. This is used in headlines of newspaper or magazines because it is an all caps font.

The common technical formats are Mac& Win OpenType - PostScript Flavor, Mac & Win OpenType - TrueType Flavor (.ttf), Windows TrueType, Windows PostScript, Macintosh PostScript, and Macintosh TrueType. These rubber stamp fonts have the following varies:

• Decorative- this font is one which don't suite any particular font and it is used for titles etc. because they are fancy is design.
• Serif- Times New Roman comes under this font and has details on edges and have casual look.
• Script- they are very formal looking fonts looks like handwritten text.
• Sans-serif- Arial is an example of sans-serif font and it have plain lock letters.

The rubber stamp stencils are made up of two materials which are wood and acrylic. Basically there is major difference talking about the result. But most of the craftsmen go with wood stencil because they give a detail of every letter and also in wood stencil there are different stencil for different letters while in acrylic the stencil is single. For every letter no separate stencil is required so the wood stencil occupy more space. The wood stencil is traditional one which gives a detail print. When you will look at the edges of each letter printed by wooden stencil, you will notice that minute detailed edge of each letter. The alphabet stamps are available in a number of craft store or you can also purchase them online.
