Pencil thin font for laser cutting: got one?

I’m looking for a TrueType font that is a single line thickness. “normal” fonts outline each letter.
It would save time on the laser and leave a cleaner looking design.

I tried the usual googles and failed. Have you got one hidden in your back pocket to share?

Neou is a nice thin font. Downside is that it is CAPS ONLY.

Code Light is another good one. Again, CAPS ONLY.

Tall Film has different cases.

I don’t believe any are official laser fonts but, they are thin.

I didn’t think it was possible to have a font in True Type font with a single line. Since TTF need to be enclosed polylines. So even if a front looks like a line its got a outline. I maybe mistaken, its a long long time since I last looked at TTF spec.

There seems to be a dedicated website specifically to this topic. Upon further inspection, it looks like all these fonts are not free but from the sounds of their website it does look like its possible.

I have a few fonts that I use for laser cutting.

Vacant Not a single line font
Single line font that can be used for stencils.
I have used this font before but I am not sure where I got it from.

Tiny Not a single line font
I have used this font before for the laser for very small parts.
I am pretty sure its going to be the smallest font that you will find that is still legible at 2mm
