Lettering Technique

Lettering is a technique used on many different things in Lego sets, railroad cars, markets, and buildings. There are many different types of lettering, like SNOT-ized Mosaic Lettering, that just means that the letters don't have their studs facing up, like in the picture. Stud-up is another way, it gives you an bird's eye view of the Lego's, so you see the studs. Stud-out is yet another way, it means that the Lego bricks are sideways and you see the top studs sideways.
