16. Grids and Italic Letters.
Grids are also useful as a tool to achieve balance and uniformity when you
construct italic letters. Refer to figures 122 and 123. To construct
italic letters, make the stems of italic letters at a 67 1/2 degree angle
measured counterclockwise from the horizontal. Make the major angle of
curved letters at a 45 degree angle measured counterclockwise from the
horizontal. All the other techniques you have learned in this subcourse
for spacing apply to italic letters as well as those you learned in this
paragraph.
