Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to the fundamental principles of letter formation, letter combination, and word arrangement for technical draftsmen. It begins with preliminary exercises to establish manual skill and estimation of values. The author argues that lettering requires attention to even the smallest detail and provides instruction on paper selection, pencil holding, and the proper grinding of the pencil point. The book then guides readers through Gothic, Roman, Italic Roman, Old English, German Text, and Round Writing styles. To ensure accuracy and consistency, the author includes limiting lines, triangles, and a scale for testing distances. But the emphasis is not on rules and tricks; instead, the author encourages readers to grasp the underlying reasons for letter proportions and spacing and to make their own rules. This book is an excellent resource for anyone needing to produce lettering that is both well-executed and aesthetically pleasing. Through its clear instructions and practical exercises, this book imparts not only technical proficiency but also an understanding of the rules that govern the art of effective lettering.
