    Lettering is used to easily read and understand
    the information portrayed in a drawing in the form
    of notes and annotations.

     An important element in both traditional and


    Computer-Aided Design drawing.

     It must be written with:


    Legibility – shape & space between letters and
    words.
    Uniformity – size & line thickness.
    Types of Lettering

    The two types of lettering


    are:
    1.Double Stroke
    Lettering – has greater width
    than Single Stroke Type of
    Lettering.
    Subdivided into:

    a.Double Stroke Vertical


    Gothic Lettering.
    b. Double Stroke Inclined
    Gothic Lettering.
    A stencil is mostly used when hand drawing double
    stroked letters

    A stencil is a tool used to create designs or patterns


    on a surface. It typically consists of a thin sheet of
    material, such as cardboard, plastic, or metal, with
    shapes or letters cut out of it.
    When ink or paint is applied over the stencil, the desig
    n is transferred to the surface below through the cut-o
    ut areas
    2.Single Stroke
    Lettering - Thickness

    obtained by
    a single stroke of pencil or
    ink pen.

    • Use even pressure to draw precise, clean lines.
    • Use one stroke per line.
    • Horizontal Stroke are drawn left to right.
    • Vertical Strokes are drawn downward.
    • Curved strokes are drawn top to bottom in one
    continuous stroke on each side.
    • Use kerning to eliminate excessive space between letters. –
    [kerning refers to adjusting the space between characters,
    especially by placing two characters closer together than
    normal.
    Kerning makes certain combinations of letters, such as WA,
    MW,
    TA, and VA, look better
    • Use the Single-stroke, Gothic Style of Lettering.

    • Always Skip A Space Between Rows of Letters.

    • Always Use Very Light Guide Lines.

    • Fractions are lettered twice the height of Normal


    Letters.

    • Fraction Bars Are Always Drawn Horizontal.

    • Use a Medium (B, HB, F or H) Lead for Normal


    Lettering.

    • Use a Hard (2H To 4H) Lead for Drawing Guide Lines.
