Lettering Guidelines – Handout
Lettering Styles
 Shape of Letters
 Order of Drawing Lines
Character Uniformity
Spacing
Pencil Techniques
The best pencil for
lettering on most
surfaces are the H,
F, and HB grades.
Hold your pencil in
the position shown.
It should make
approximately a 60o
angle with the
paper.

Freehand Lettering
Developing good lettering is
a personal skill which takes
practice. Letters must be
formed properly.
They must be open shaped
very legible.
Clear communication is
essential to avoid mistakes
and reduce waste.
Lettering may be done using
a drafting type pencil, lead
holder or technical pen.
Which ever tool is used, the
letters must properly formed
and very black
Freehand Lettering
Pull the pencil or pen across
the paper. All lettering
strokes should be a pulling
motion.
Right-handed and left-
handed drafters may have to
develop different styles for
forming letters.
Press down hard when using
a pencil.
Freehand Lettering
Vertical capital letters are preferred for most
technical work. They are formed within a 6 by 6
grid.
Straight Line letters
Most letters are slightly narrower than they are
tall. The shapes of the letters are as open as
possible. Letters with small loops and crossing
strokes are avoided
Straight Line letters
This sequence is recommended to assure that
each letter is the correct width in relation in
height. For example, form the two vertical sides
of the “H”, “N” and “M” first. Form the top of the
“T” first.
Straight Line letters
The “H” and “N” are slightly narrower than they
are tall.
The “T” and the “M” are just as wide as they
are tall
Note: Proportion: width vs. height is very
important in forming letters.
Lettering
The style of engineering lettering we will
use in this course is Single Stroke
Gothic Lettering
 Notice that only capital letters are
demonstrated, since we will use only
capital letters on drawings

Editor's Notes

  1. Architects and engineers have their own kind of lettering. Students in these fields learn to letter by hand, even though they will be doing much of their work on the computer, because design sketches are always done in pencil, as are many other types of sketches such as preliminary drafts, and design ideas.
  2. Overview: Lettering must be neat and readable – Should use all capital letters Tools Traditional hand sketching Computer Aided Drawing (a large industry producing computer packages they may have heard of in AutoCad, ProEngineer, SolidWorks) Media (how we record) Paper – helpful to know about Standard Sizes (Table 1) and Title Blocks Alphabet of lines - examples of line types.
  3. Freehand lettering is used in many types of technical work. Conventional drawing must have notes, instructions, materials, and descriptions clearly shown Memos must be readable Letter shapes are designed by standards such as the ANSI (American National Standards Institute Or ASME -
  4. This avoids catching and tearing the paper
  5. Examples of form and proportions are shown. Letters must be open and clear as possible for readability.

  8. Tell the students that this guide to good lettering is on the website. Tell them that they should use all caps for notes on drawings and the letters should be ~1/8 inch or 3 mm high. The reason for using all caps is that someone could reduce the size of their original drawing on the copy machine. The capital letters can be reduce by 50% and still be readable. We expect good quality lettering and the lettering to be done in vertical gothic font.
