Ames Lettering Guide

I found a bunch of stuff in an envelope: a ton of protractors, rulers and right triangles. I even found this thing called an Ames Lettering Guide. They're all my husbands, but I took them from him because I'm bratty. I'm going to try and use the lettering guide because it looks cool. I founds a video, a couple videos, but no one is really using it for much except for lines. I guess maybe that's all it's used for, but I have this gutsy feeling that it has far more potential. I'm going to do more research. In the meantime, here's a cool teaser video with Doyald Young in it. The video has nothing to do with the Ames Lettering Guide except that it inspires me to do lettering. Dharblog also has some cool info on the Ames Lettering Guide.
