You gotta love their handwriting. How do they all conform? I would give anything to print and draw so well.

When I was in high school I almost took an architecture class just to learn that skill!
I spent many years lettering with a parallel rule and triangle and using a scratch pad to sand a chisel point on a pencil; sharp edge for downward strokes and the flat edge of the chisel point for horizontal strokes. Once you've practiced enough and develop a style, the lettering comes out uniform every time. Now its all done in CAD, although you can get fonts that mimic hand lettering...

I used Leyroy lettering sets because my freehand lettering was so bad. I still have several sets and about 30 fonts.
well i'm one of many architects on this forum ... and yes, somehow we all write that way. and yes, i still have a bunch of old Leroy templates, rapidograph pens, etc. haven't used them in years.
i like the sketch too - nice handwork.
