Excerpt from Free-Hand Lettering: Being a Treatise on Plain Lettering From the Practical Standpoint for Use in Engineering Schools and Colleges
The student who takes up the study of lettering, as outlined in these pages, will not find it to consist of a set of copies which if reproduced carefully will give proficiency in the subject; copy work seldom yields more than a meaningless result, it does not lead to independent and creative work. Erroneous conceptions have grown out of the idea that letters are standard, that they are rigidly fixed in their forms; the truth is there are no really fixed forms. Variety will be found to some degree in all lettering; each line of it the draftsman makes is creative work.
