Fonts for Inlays

Any recommendations for fonts for inlay. Working on some Christmas cutting boards with inlaid lettering.

Ran test of female cutout using Georgia at 1.5 inch height. DOC was .25 with V Carve 60º bit. Really liked the look but concerned the narrow parts like the crossbar on small e or the bottom of large L may be too narrow to get a decent inlay.

Any recs or pointers appreciated.

The entire point to a V inlay is that it preserves small details.

I would recommend doing a test where you have a waterfall of sizes — that will allow you to pick a minimal size/level of detail which works for the tooling and material as cut on your machine/workholding setup.
