Hi All,
I'm doing a simple rectangle sign with the saying below for a friend. Problem is, I'm not so good at text. I'm using a plasmacam but I only have the older software and it stinks at text. I would definitely appreciate any help from the expert folks on here that could probably make this a quick breeze.

The number of lines doesn't matter. Just whatever looks good. Open to any font recommendations, too. Sign dimensions will be approximately 2.5 feet wide by 1.5 feet tall - or whatever size needed to make it easy enough to cut (without being too large). 12 guage HR. I'm using HT PowerMax 45 on a plascam 4x4 hc2. Kerf is apprx 0.045".
Thanks in advance!
Help with text cutout, please!

This looks great! Thank you so much! Anyway you can put this in a format for the older Plasmacam 3.11 software? The new DesignEdge PCM files don't work with the older version. Or DXF would work, too.
