For quick, erasable lettering guidelines, try using a pencil and an Ames Lettering Guide. For practicing calligraphy, laying out comic panels, and adding text to any artwork, these slim plastic tools are invaluable.

First, you rotate the circular portion to set the line spacing. Then, you slide the guide along a straightedge with a pencil inserted in one of the holes. In 15 seconds, you’ll have perfectly straight guides for your lettering work.

Instructions are included. Made in the United States.
