I say that learning and practicing the craft of drawing is largely about training your eye. Any normal person who can write their name or draw you a map of how to get to their house has more than sufficient motor skill to draw well. What the artist (or draughtsman, one who draws) has is an eye finely honed to detect subtle differences in shape and space. This, coupled with knowledge of form, tone and structure, enable to convey convincing indications of bodies, cars, scenes, etc ...
Lettering is GREAT at teaching one to see very subtle differences. Look at the "hole" in the letter P. That is called a "negative space." By looking at the negative space, you can check that the P is right. Lettering makes you refine your ability to make smooth lines, both curved and straight.
Furthermore, lettering often contrubutes to the character of a piece. If you're designing a movie poster, sure, the lettering will likely be a computer typeface, added later, but your sketch will indicate what that typeface should be. (Helvitica is a typeface. 12 pt. Helvetica is a "font." A font is the typeface, plus the point-size.)
Look up old hand-lettered signs. Cool stuff... for real.

cuz then the lines are straight.
There are many tools that can be used. Some examples include templates, compasses, tape, mechanical pencils, coloring pencils, and chalk.
It depends how it is being used. In the sentence βThe lettering on the sign was Chinese.β it is a noun. But in the sentence βHand lettering is my newest hobby.β it is a verb, specifically a gerund, more specifically a subject type of gerund.
The use of linetypes on a drawing are used to describe the various features of an object to the person reading the print

The uniformity of lettering means keeping the height, inclination, spacing and strength of letters to be the same. It is very essential for good lettering in engineering drawing.

To use learn the art of Chinese lettering, it is important to have the proper pen as the writing utensil. Chinese lettering is attuned to drawing with a flair, therefore it is important that the proper pen is used that can accomplish the mission for legibility.
A drawing that shows only the shape and size of a machine or structure does not completely describe the object. A finished drawing tells how the parts will be made, what materials will be used in manufacturing, and the tolerance or degree of error that will be permitted.
Technical lettering is a style of hand lettering used by architects and draftsmen. The lettering was very stylized, and anyone who took a drafting class had to learn this writing style. With the movement from hand drawn plans to computerized drawing programs fonts have been created in this style. Different font foundries have different names for them but a few are 'Technical', 'Architect' and 'Marker Felt'.
because it has to be proportional
A. Legibility - Each letter must be distinct and not have to be read in context to be understood. Industry can't tolerate errors caused by poor drawing legibility. B. Corporate Pride - Some engineering companies only have their drawings to sell. Poor lettering reflects poorly on their product and makes potential customers question their engineering accuracy. C. Personal Pride - You owe it to yourself to do your very best. Don't settle for anything less than your best. Successful people aren't "average". Pay your "dues" and practice. You can improve with effort and don't sell yourself short. Believe in yourself.
