Slate is a classic and popular material for Celtic-style house signs, and you can see several examples of our slate signs below. We offer several options, including engraved and painted lettersfor a traditional look, or blasting away the background to leave the letters and border raised for a more dramatic effect. We can even combine both techniques, as demonstrated in the "SEVEN" example below.
For highly detailed images that might be too intricate for slate, we also offer slate corian, a material that closely resembles slate in appearance but allows for finer detail.

More Information About Celtic Fonts and Design
Celtic fonts and design are deeply rooted in the artistic traditions of ancient Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Characterized by intricate knotwork, spirals, and stylized lettering, Celtic typography often draws inspiration from medieval manuscripts such as the Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels. These fonts typically feature elaborate serifs, angular shapes, and interwoven patterns that reflect the rich heritage of Celtic art. Many modern Celtic typefaces maintain these historical elements while adapting them for contemporary use in branding, signage, and decorative prints.
Beyond fonts, Celtic design encompasses a variety of symbolic motifs, including triquetras, key patterns, and zoomorphic figures, often representing eternal life, unity, and spirituality. The knotwork seen in Celtic lettering is particularly significant, symbolizing interconnectedness and the infinite cycle of life. Today, Celtic-inspired fonts are widely used for projects that aim to capture a sense of tradition, mysticism, or cultural pride, making them a popular choice for house signs.
