hi guys.
I've had an unusual request to reproduce the business card design from the film 'American Psycho'.
I've got the layout, colour and original font spot on. The only problem is that my client has an email address that needs to be in lower case on the business card.... and the 'Copperplate' font only does UPPER CASE text.Sooooo, can anyone suggest a font that is similar to copperplate but allows you to use a lower case version too?
fingers crossed.
Thanks in advance.

Two negative replies, yet you are female. This place never ceases to amaze me.
On a related note, I'm afraid I can't help with your problem. Good luck though.
- I do like your website though, if that helps?!Raniator

cheers me dears.
I know its an odd one to request.
and alas, no, unfortunately he doesn't look like Christian Bale - or have the psycho-ness of the film (i hope).

so I guess you really need a font to pair with Copperplate.... it would look strange to have all the contact details except the email address CAPS.
I'll try a few combos for you.

ah. you are a gem!

Copperplate-type fonts usually don't have lc... this one does, but I'm not sure if it's suitable.

And you might not have to use lowercase to get the same vibe

perhaps something like Neutra Text or Futura?
or something a tad wider but still reasonably geometric?

i'll give it a go. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

I'd just set it in caps. I think people would be able to figure it out.
- polly_pocket0
yup, again. I recommended that. but he wasnt keen.
it actually looks really nice in caps too.
- cactushands0
why not small caps?
- polly_pocket0
yup. it looks good in small caps.
tried it. he wasnt so keen.
thanks though.

Email addresses are case-insensitive.

@taxiguerilla
"The local-part is case sensitive, so and may be delivered to different people. This practice is discouraged by RFC 5321. However, only the authoritative mail servers for a domain may make that decision. The only exception is for a local-part value of "postmaster" which is case insensitive, and should be forwarded to the server's administrator."
depends on the server.

Hey Polly, You fancy showing us what it looks like at the moment?
Sounds like a cool project to be working on :)
