Using half collar arms will generally reduce the overall height of the fingerpost, as shown on these comparative illustrations.
Please note that arms interlock only with those of the same height, i.e. a single line arm will interlock with a single arm, not with a double or triple arm, etc.

Standard font options are either the plain, modern 'Helvetica Medium' or the more traditional 'Cloister Bold', both in 42mm overall height upper case letters only.
The layouts shown give an approximate indication as to the maximum number of characters that can be fitted on a single line. Where the destination is longer than a single line, the wording can of course carry over onto the second/third lines of double/triple line arms.
Lettering is justified to the left on both faces of the arm. Please note, when a symbol is used at the end of the wording on the 'front' face of the arm, it will be nearest the post, whereas on the 'reverse' face, it will be nearest the arrow end of the arm.

Other symbols or logos can be created in single level relief upon supply of the artwork on disc or as a positive (black on white) full size hard copy.
Also shown here is the Tablet Finial, with example wording. The central area of the finial can be a void (hole) or may be used to display a logo or crest.
