Draw perfectly spaced lettering guidelines at precise angles every time
Drawing consistent lettering by hand requires guidelines at precise intervals, a tedious setup that breaks your concentration before you've written a single character. The Ames Lettering Guide eliminates this busywork through an ingenious rotating disc system. Metric calibrations from 2 to 10 millimeters accommodate various letter heights, while three standard architectural lettering sizes (3.08, 6.1, and 9.75mm) are specifically marked for immediate access. The guide's angled edges handle both slanted lettering at 68 degrees and vertical lettering at 90 degrees, matching standard drafting conventions.
Simply set your desired spacing on the disc, align the guide with your T-square or parallel bar, and run your pencil through the holes to create evenly-spaced horizontal guidelines across your sheet. The consistent spacing ensures uniform letter heights throughout your drawing, critical for professional presentation and legibility. Architecture students working on hand-lettered title blocks and technical illustrators preparing presentation drawings rely on this tool to maintain the disciplined appearance that hand lettering demands. Directions walk you through setup and use, though the system becomes intuitive after your first sheet.
