In-the-round
lettering
Lettering in-the-round is letter forms in a circular format. Lettering in-the-
round creates a whole new set of spacing challenges. Letters composed in a
round format have spaces expanded at the top and condensed at the bottom of
the letter. Begin by establishing a center point and drawing the basic
guidelines as concentric circles. Draw the vertical guidelines as radii
projecting from the center point of the circles the basic guidelines form.
As
you letter, rotate the paper so that the letter form you are currently creating is
oriented to you as it would normally be.
Figure 5-67 illustrates the format for lettering in-the-round.
