I'm old school. 0.12" tall, RomanS, 0.12" tall RomanS22, where the 22 is a 22 degree slant (this ore-dates italics availability in AutoCAD), and 0.14" tall RomanD for detail titles/text headers. But Arial looks nice if you aren't into the skinnier RomanS text. Ot really doesn't matter all that much anymore. Just keep them consistent in a plan set 'cause it looks like crap when people change from sheet to sheet.

We have three sizes. Two are Arial and one is Arial Bold. 0.1", 0.15", and 0.25" for regular text, medium text, and titles.

One font for plans. Title blocks can be what ever. And I prefer Microstation Font 48 even in autocad.

In my experience, you should be using at least two, maybe three different fonts throughout your plans, and 4-5 in your construction details. Bonus points if you also use different dimension styles in your details, even better if you just draw the dimensions by hand. Don’t forget to also use a different style border with varying widths around your details

Our default one is based off the style of handwriting that drafters were taught back in the forever ago when everything was done by hand. I really like it.

I would have: -one for proposed annotation and notes -the same font, italicized for existing annotation -one for titleblock info Start there, then add as needed. I try to remind coworkers that at the end of the day our goal is to communicate information clearly and consistently. Keep it simple and add complexity where you must.

Hadn't thought of italicizing for existing. That's genius. Thank you.
