4. LETTERING - Lettering is the art of writing or printing letters by hand either freehand or with the use of drawing instruments.

5. 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.

6. DEVELOPMENT OF LETTERS 1) Egyptian’s Hieroglyphics- more on symbols

7. 2) Phoenician’s Cuneiform Writing DEVELOPMENT OF LETTERS

8. 3) Greek’s Boustrophedon – Greek Alphabet DEVELOPMENT OF LETTERS

9. 4) Roman Alphabet/Letters- called the “present day letters” because most letters in the alphabet that we are using today came from the Roman Letters. DEVELOPMENT OF LETTERS

10. 4 COMMONLY USED STYLES OF LETTERS 1) Gothic Letters- all single strokes letters are 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.

11. CLASSIFICATION OF GOTHIC LETTERS A) Vertical upper case Gothic Letters.

12. B) Vertical lower case Gothic Letters. CLASSIFICATION OF GOTHIC LETTERS

13. C ) Inclined upper case Gothic Letters. CLASSIFICATION OF GOTHIC LETTERS

14. D) Inclined lower case Gothic Letters. CLASSIFICATION OF GOTHIC LETTERS

15. 2) Italic Letters - all slanting letters are considered italic letters. The degree of inclination is 67.5 ° or 68° 4 COMMONLY USED STYLES OF LETTERS

16. 3) Roman Letters - letters having strokes accented or consisting of thin & thick strokes 4 COMMONLY USED STYLES OF LETTERS

17. 4) Text Letters- are commonly used in diplomas, certificates, wedding invitations, etc. They include all styles of Old-English Text, German Text, Bradley Text, etc. If done freehand, speedball pens are used. 4 COMMONLY USED STYLES OF LETTERS

18. 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.

20. 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.

21. 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

22. GUIDELINES USED FOR LOWERCASE LETTERS

23. 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 UNIT OF LETTERS The height of letters and numbers are 6 units, they vary in width

24. UNIT OF LETTERS

25. 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. RULE OF STABILITY
