The numbers and letters are how the graphite is graded. H is for hardness, B for blackness. The HB pencil is completely middle ground on the scale of grading graphite. If you move up in the scale to 2B for example, you will get a slightly softer, blacker lead. An 8B pencil will be extremely soft and black. Moving down in the scale to the H grades of pencil you will have harder leads and lighter pigment. H pencils are good for thin lines and technical drawing, while the softer B leads are better for figure drawing and shading.
