(Sometimes called Egyptian or Block Letters)

The unit of measure of the Gothic Letter is one-seventh (1/7) of the height. The thickness of all strokes is one unit, the curved strokes being the same thickness as the straight.

The accompanying diagrams give all the necessary information for laying out the letters.

The slant for the Gothic letter is the same as for all slant lettering, that is "3 in 8," and the unit of measure again is one-seventh (1/7) of the height. See the diagrams, pp. 30 and 31.
