Lettering

Use uppercase letters only in a single-stroke vertical Gothic style, always skipping spaces between rows and using light guide lines. Normal lettering should be 1/8" high while titles are 1/4" and fractions twice normal height, with horizontal fraction bars. Use a medium lead for lettering and a hard lead for guide lines.
