Abstract
Apparatus in the form of a stencil, wet transfer material or dry transfer material is disclosed for marking characters on a surface. A set of character-defining indicia are provided on the stencil or transfer material and symbols having simple geometrical shapes are also provided to enable visually harmonious character spacing to be achieved. Some or all of the indicia have two or more spatially separated symbols so that character spacing can be related to the particular character pair combination being drawn or marked. Simple rules are provided for matching symbols to each other.
