 The "3 in 8" Triangle

The correct slant for lettering is three parts in eight, or approximately 21.3°. A thirty degree slant is sometimes used because the 30° triangle is handy, but that slant is incorrect.

The "3 in 8" triangle supplies the need. It has been designed by and is manufactured for the Columbia School of Drafting, Washington, D. C.
