Introduction
In one of my previous articles, I wrote that technical lettering is similar to shodō calligraphy—and that remains true. Letters, numbers, and symbols follow strict size and proportion guidelines. This structure allows you to focus entirely on forming each letter with precision, improving consistency over time.
For practice, I recommend using a 2B or HB pencil. When writing, concentrate solely on the task at hand—eliminate distractions. There’s no need to rush or strive for perfection; improvement comes naturally with repetition. You’ll notice that when you finish, or even if you’re interrupted, there’s a certain sense of calm that lingers.

Conclusion
Technical lettering, like any skill, improves with practice and consistency. Whether you choose to print the training sheet or use graph paper, the key is repetition and focus. Over time, your hand will become steadier, your letters more precise, and the process itself more natural.
This is just the beginning—soon, I will introduce special characters and small letters used in technical drawing, further expanding your training. Until then, take your time, practice with patience, and enjoy the process of mastering technical handwriting.
