How to Write Like An Architect (+ Worksheet)

Tips + techniques for learning how to write like an architect with a worksheet to guide you. Sharing my favorite tools and reference materials you can use to learn the graphic conventions architects use to annotate their sketches. An updated guide to help you develop your own personal architectural lettering style.
Even though digital production has made the architectural handwriting tradition less essential, I would argue learning a handwriting style is still a relevant exercise. As visual people, it forms a significant part of our personal graphic style. So, whether you're an architect, a student, a graphic designer, or simply journaling each day, developing a legible, clear, and consistent handwriting style remains important.

The Origin Story
I didn't mention this in the video, but it's interesting to know how this style of writing came to be and why all architects share a similar style of handwriting. Before the computer, there were teams of people responsible for drafting a set of architectural drawings so a floor plan may have been started by one and then passed off to be revised and finished by many others. This meant that all the hand lettered notes and dimensions had to be consistent between each person. Everything had to be clear because a misinterpreted note on a drawing could make for a costly construction error. Because upper case letters are visually distinct they were difficult to confuse with other letters like you might with a lowercase “L” and a lowercase “I” for example. There were also compositional reasons for choosing uppercase letterforms too. When laying out and composing a sheet of drawings there’s an art to arranging the graphics on the page and the notations they’re a large part of the visual style. Upper case letters don’t have descenders - no part of the letter goes below the baseline and this makes them a lot easier to lay out as graphic elements on the drawing and you can pack things in a lot closer than you could if there were descenders as you would if you used lowercase letters.

I was meeting with a builder client of mine today, and as I was preparing to leave, I put on my coat and my brown leather satchel when he asked me to quickly meet two people before I left his office. I was introduced to two gentlemen who will be performing some work for the builder, when the one says, "He looks architectural with the coat and the satchel bag" and the builder replied, "Yeah, and he does the neat architectural writing too". So for anyone looking to be an architect or a designer - you don't need years of schooling, licensing, or experience. Just carry a leather satchel and write like an architect.

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

I took drafting in highschool in the 70's. I think we spent the first three weeks learning to letter - and nothing else. Went on to get my design degree taking several architecture classes and had a much easier time with lettering than my classmates. Still print anytime I feel a handwritten note warrants the clarity.

[@TJRohyans]

I learned the same way in HS, although a decade later than you. And I always block print; rarely write in cursive. Over the years though I've gotten sloppy trying to be fast.

[@iya9137]

[@StonesAndSand]

I had been a machinist for nearly 15 years when I went into teaching. After two years of teaching machine shop, I taught drafting. Until that time, all of my drafting lettering experience was mechanical. It was totally liberating trying architectural lettering for the first time. And now, some 25 years later, it's all I use.

[@simonrenarde5558]

Thank you i got your worksheet. Writing like an architect sets up the mood and brings discipline to my practice. Even though there are so many machine made merchandise, we still see the hand made ones are the most luxurious items purchased.

[@subliteral]

Great video , it's a bit uncommon to see lettering discussed outside of devoted calligraphy circles! The old Leroy lettering system used to be used in comic books , but later got replaced by hand lettering styles across the board . There's a staggering array of beautifully formed crisp , distinctive & clearly readable styles in this field , all unique to the individual artist. I've hand lettered comics for about 25 years now , and if you're intimidated to start don't be! You can develop clear, legible and consistent work in a reasonably short time with some practice

[@livingcolours773]

Thank you for the encouranging message! What was your initial training before specialising in hand-lettering?

[@zakseipel9494]

old video and all but I found this and wanted to share. I am starting school (IT not architecture) and take notes on my iPad pro. I have always struggled with my penmanship and it has been practically illegible my whole life. I took your sheets and opened them up and worked through them for 1 week solid just repeatedly doing the letter forms until I could do them quickly. This took my penmanship from illegible to damn near perfect. Thank you for creating this.

Architects in UK train for three years initially for their degree, and I used the notes taken during lectures to gradually change my calligraphy one letter at a time until it became natural. By the end of the second year I had completed the alphabet in upper and lower script.

[@poope496]

I have a drafting degree from one of the best drafting programs in the country, and I would have failed every project if I lettered this way. I'm not saying it's wrong here, but training as actual working professionals, we weren't allowed any type of "flair" to our lettering. Everything had to be completely straight and uniform. We would be docked for even the slightest tilt or overlap. The rule that was driven into us was you don't "write" your letters, you draw them.

[@danakelissova3122]

same thing. here our professors wouldn’t accept this style of letters🥲 we literally have to draw every letter one by one and it takes sooo much time to do that. i wish we could use this style though, it seems a lot faster in use

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

Mechanical Drafting and Architectural drafting are two completely different animals. In high school I took 1-1/2 years of Mechanical drafting and 1/2 year of architectural from the same instructor. He was a stickler for uniformity on Mechanical drawings, but when we moved into Architectural he urged us to develop our own style. I was offered a drafting position straight out of high school at a major federal contractor, however I chose to go to uni. Once out in the real world as a designer, you learn to work as quick and clean as possible. Any professional architecture drawings - prior to Cad - all utilized stylized lettering. Mechanical lettering indicated a lack of creativity on behalf of an architect or designer.

[@0katmandude0]

I'm surprised you did a piece on this topic, it's so personal. Your style defines who you are and how you think. Bold written types are more forward in thinking . Then again I've spent so much time training for the written part of a plan, that I can relate :)

Mr.Reinholdt good afternoon. I just viewed your youtube video and must admit it is very good information I received as I'm sure others would have benefitted from your experience. I am not an architect but, an artist who upon discovering the style of handwriting from persons who would have done TD-Technical Drawing in secondary school, I fell in love with it and mimicked anyone I saw using the handwriting style and have been lauded by many females for having such good handwriting for a male. So, Mr.Reinholdt, thank you for sharing your tips.

[@kelleydrawdy8733]

Thank you for this. Great classroom resource for teaching high school interior design class. I LOVE when students fall in love with lettering the way I did in college. Explaining that it still holds value since it "trains the brain" to create new connections intrigues them at first - but they feel "professional" creating architectural lettering. BTW colleges STILL teach it ! I checked. :)

[@julesdoty4292]

I have not read too far down, so apologies if this has been addressed. As a lefty living in a right-handed world, I envy the ease that righty's have applying these. English goes left to right, so I have to "push" the pen, whereas a righty gets to "pull" the pen most of the time. Same reason that I had to abandon my desire to use fountain pens; I could not apply the correct pressure to the nib to get the ink to flow. I am also a lefty who crooks my hand rather than holding my hand straight and turning the paper. I write in upper case like this a lot and have found a fair measure of success, but many of my horizontal lines have a tiny arc to them if I speed up at all. Oh well. Still love this style of writing, and it was fun to see the link in my inbox today.

[@Yorky222]

Beautiful tutorial, thank you. I'm adopting this writing style as a graphic design student and aspiring comic book artist. Hello from ATX

[@preranachatterjee2195]

I believe writing with fountain pens greatly improves handwriting. As an architect, I do all drawing, sketching and field notes with fountain pens. Truly speaking, any standard clear caps or non caps handwriting does the job- people interested to develop a handwriting must be encouraged to look up good drawings and illustrations done by greatest early draftsmen, inkers and architects. Above all, our handwritings are our personalities... it's important to have an identity of one's own which certainly a computer keyboard can never offer.

Over 50 years ago when I was a trainee architectural technician, the first lettering I did was with plastic stencils and pens. I tried different styles of freehand lettering but in the end produced consistent lettering in a rounded style. Years later having just started working at a fairly small practice in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, the senior partner was walking around, he looked at my drawing and told me not to use stencils as they wasted time. I took great delight in telling him that I hadn’t used stencils - it was all freehand annotation. Wish I still had that ability.

[@28ernst]

I remember as a kid I was always writing in capital letters except for when we were learning to write nice and elegant. I sucked at it because of all the curls and whatnot and I also held my pen in a very weird way, which didn't help when I had to change it up with those lessons. Felt weird holding the pen normally, and I just wanted to write in my own style. Unfortunately the teachers kept insisting I needed to change. So it took some years but when entering high school they didn't complain about it anymore, which made me very happy. And now when I'm in the second year studying to become a architect, seeing this video and remembering al that nonsense, gives me chills, wondering if I would've done the same kind of study ... yeah nah very likely would've but can't imagine working through these study projects with that weird classy handwriting which still makes no sense to me. I mean, really, I'm not wondering why so many people were illiterate in the past. Can't even understand my grandma's handwriting because its so _italic_ it's almost flat, I mean, ____. To be clear I don't have the same writing style as in this video, mine is definitely a lot more loose, jazzy and personal preference takes front and center. For example, I even use some versions of lowercase letters when I see fit, which might be weird but it isn't random. It has to do with the word, the size, the importance, and maybe even coloring. All I know is that my teacher likes it, that it works wel for me and I wouldn't change it for anything, except money. _sweeeet monnay_ Well that was fun. Now back to the grind, I want to write something without keyboard.

"handwriting is autobiography" beautiful quote... but then... why would you copy somebody handwriting? ;) i'm a sign painter and all my life is dedicated to handwriting and calligraphy, the best advice is... practice, practice, practice... the more you do the best you'll do... after 35+ years of practicing i still practice and often improve again... you need to train your hand to do what your head wants... one tip is, once you have the lines in your hand, do it quick... train to be quicker... it leads to consistancy... (it also can be messy) ^^ another tip is that sometimes errors can leads to unwanted lines ...but beautiful... the hardest thing is then to make that error again, and make it a reflex... i think now i'm gonna like these and subscribe... :D
