orthographic
Concerning written letters
Orthographic relates to spelling or the conventions of written language: orthographic rules, orthographic errors.
In technical contexts, orthographic describes a method of projection where parallel lines remain parallel rather than converging toward a vanishing point—an orthographic view shows an object without perspective distortion, useful in architectural drawings and maps.
