What is Lettering?
Lettering is the art of writing or printing letters
by hand either freehand or with the use of
drawing instruments.
Importance of Letters:
1) They are the written language of industry.
2) They record ideas.
3) They add information in a drawing which the
regular orthographic or pictorial drawing cannot
show.

classified as gothic
*Classification of Gothic Letters:
a) Vertical upper case Gothic Letters.
b) Vertical lower case Gothic Letters.
c) Inclined upper case Gothic Letters.
d) Inclined lower case Gothic Letters.

General Proportion of Letters (spacing of letters)
1) Normal Letters- used when the space is
ample.
2) Compressed Letters- used when space is
narrow.
3) Extended Letters- used when the space is
wide.
General Proportion of Letters (spacing of letters)
Guidelines used in Lettering:
1) Horizontal Guidelines- maintains the
straightness of letters.
2) Vertical Guidelines- keep the letters uniformly
vertical.
3) Inclined Guidelines- keep the letters uniformly
inclined.
Guidelines used for lowercase letters:

1) Capline- the uppermost horizontal guideline and limit


the strokes of the ascenders (b, d, k, h, f, l, t)
2) Waistline- maintains the straightness of the body of
letters.
3) Base Line- keep the base of letters uniformly straight.
4) Drop Line- the lowermost horizontal guideline and limit
the strokes of the descenders (g, j, p, q, y)
Guidelines used for lowercase letters:
Unit of Letters: (The height of letters & numbers
are 6-units, they vary in width
1) T, O, M, Q, V, A, X, Y = six-unit letters
2) W = the widest letter w/c is 8-unit
3) I = has no width
4) The remaining letters not mentioned above are 5-units
5) All numbers are 5 units except no.1 w/c has no width
This single stroke vertical upper case gothic letters
can be used in UNIT OF LETTERS, because the
units are shown in each letter, the graph guidelines,
each square equals 1 unit
Rule of Stability in Letters and Numbers:
The rule of stability states that the upper portion of
some letters & numbers are slightly reduced in size to
correct the optical illusion that those letters and numbers
are drawn top-heavy if their upper & lower portion are
made equal.
This refers to the letters: B, E, F, H, K, S, X, & Z and the
numbers: 2, 3, 5, and 8.
