UNIQUE RIBBON LETTERING.
If you will practice on these letters you will acquire more or less of proficiency in their use.
THE BLOCK LETTER.
OLD ENGLISH TEXT.
Block Letter—The block letter is scarcely appropriate for show cards, although there are some occasions when you may use it. A large window ticket or interior sign may be made with this letter, which is so severe and regular that it will show distinctly a long distance. It is the most popular of all letters for outside sign work. By spacing off a number of squares, according to the size of the sign you wish to make (using a lead pencil so that the lines may be afterwards erased), and following out the idea as shown in our illustration, you will be surprised to find how easily block letters may be made.
