The standard for lettering was established in 1935 by the American National Standards Institute(ANSI)... The standardized lettering format was developed as a modified form of the Gothic letter font. The term font refers to a complete assortment of any one size and style of letters. The simplification of the Gothic letters resulted in a simplification of elements for each letter that became know as single-stroke Gothic lettering... The term single stroke comes from the fact that each letter is made up of a single straight or curved line element that makes it easy to draw and clear to read. 2, record 4, English, - single%2Dstroke%20Gothic%20lettering
