What does it mean: "to write in large box letters"? [closed]

in this sentence: ask everyone to write in large box letters.

Solution 1:

I'm not familiar with the term. I think it might just be badly written - perhaps they mean "large block capital letters"? I could see how "block" could get mistranslated to "box", since "block" is another word for "rectangle", which in turn could be called a "box".

"Block capitals" is a style of writing which just uses clearly written capital letters, well spaced out, perhaps for machine reading. It's a common requirement for filling out forms.
