Spacing Letters
Spacing of letters should not be made equal
or done mechanically. It is not measured
directly but the spacing is done by the eye so
that the areas between letters appear to be
equal. This is called visual spacing.

where the title is to be located. In
finishing the letters, necessary
adjustment s should be made in order
that the letters or title is properly
centered.

Scratch

Method
 This is more systematic than the trial
and final method but it is more time
consuming. In this method, lettering is
first done in a scratch paper then the
scratch paper is centered over the space
where the title is to be printed.
