This was a throwback! I was a draftsman for a long time and still miss it. A coupe questions/comments that I'm sure are due to the decades since I was paid to draw/design as well as the industry and instructors I interacted with. Were you lettering wish a pen? We didn't do that unless we were on vellum if I recall and it was a pain to erase. This looks like a felt tip pen. Also, I was taught not t push the lead but to always pull it. You seemed to push quite frequently. I assume it was because the pen could take it vs a .5/.7 might not. I was in the mechanical design industry, piping, plumbing, HVAC, etc. Our lettering style was block lettering so everything was vertical or horizontal. I do seem to recall we sometimes made the verticals strokes angled to the right as sort of an italics style for emphasis occasionally. Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane!
