Drawing font is a real salvation for engineers and architects. A few decades ago, draftsmen had to draw each letter by hand, under a ruler. But in 1996 Ascon Ltd. digitized the font to meet the state standard, and put it in the internet for free. Below you can see the fonts and download them in one click. By using them, you will not violate the copyright of the manufacturer.
GOST Type A
GOST Type AU
GOST Type B
GOST Type BU
The drawing font is called gostovsky for a reason. It is designed according to the Uniform System of Design Documentation, described in the interstate standard of 1982. Gost 2.304-81 establishes the standard for the drawing fonts that are applied to the drawings and other types of technical documentation. The main parameters that this gost regulates:
- Font size
- Letter width
- The thickness of the font's line.
- Auxiliary grid
- Limit variations in the width of letters and numbers
- Lowercase and uppercase letters height
- Spacing between characters
- Minimum line spacing (interlineage)
- Spacing between words
Drawing fonts are very popular with students. A digital font saves a lot of time and effort. It allows you to concentrate directly on the design, not on the construction of boring symbols. In addition, gostovsky font gives a guarantee of compliance with standards, and nullifies the possibility of questions from the teacher.
There are very small differences between GOST Type A and GOST Type AU. If you look closely, you will see that the changes concern such letters as "I", "Y", "G", "U", "X" and "M". The differences are so minor that few people can tell the two fonts apart.
The range of uses for drawing fonts goes beyond just drawing and technical documentation. Creative designers not infrequently use such fonts in their creative works. And with the development of new technologies, it became possible to connect such fonts to the site. This development has significantly expanded the potential for the creation of sites. Fonts used in drawing perfectly fit into the design of a site about engineering, scientific, or construction character.
