Lettering guides

Lettering guides are an indispensable tool for technical drawing. They contain cut-outs of letters, numbers and special characters, facilitating work in construction and engineering. For professional results, choose high-quality lettering guides from STAEDTLER.

Lettering guides as a valuable accessory for technical drawing

Lettering guides and drawing templates are indispensable when creating technical drawings. Architects, engineers and other professionals use them to write down dimensions and label their professional projects. The characters included on the lettering guide conform to lettering standards: various DIN and ISO standards apply for specific content on paper, thereby ensuring uniform text.

Precise drawing of curves

The STAEDTLER French curve set includes three templates for drawing curved lines. French curves also enable the precise drawing of trigonometric functions. These French curves also feature an inking edge:

  • The edge leaves a gap between the underside of the template and the paper, which prevents ink running and smudging while drawing.

Tip: To get the most out of your equipment and to achieve professional results, we also recommend purchasing set squares in various sizes as accessories to lettering guides and French curves.
