    LETTERING WORKSHEETS
    PRACTICE ARCHITECTURAL LETTERFORMS

    Style characteristics:
    1. Legible, clear + consistent letterforms.

    2. Use uppercase only.

    3. Keep verticals vertical.

    4. Introduce a slight angle to horizontal strokes.

    Practice:
    1. Use guidelines (printed underlays - or - construct your own).

    2. Start small: set guideline spacing at 1/8” - 3/16” for best results.

    3. Begin at the top of the letterform, use down strokes to create the verticals first.

    4. Continue to horizontals next, imparting a slight upward angle where appropriate.

    5. Proportions should be (roughly) square.
