Lowercase b

The lowercase b belongs to the ascender loop family.

It begins with a tall looped ascender, then moves into a controlled body shape and exit. The goal is to keep the loop narrow, the shaded stroke steady, and the lower body balanced.

Do not make the ascender loop too wide. A large loop can make the letter look weak and unstable.

Practice slowly and focus on five things:

Study the loop size first. The ascender should stay tall, narrow, and controlled.

1. Start with a smooth ascender loop.
2. Keep the loop narrow and controlled.
3. Pull the shaded stroke down with steady pressure.
4. Keep the lower body balanced.
5. Finish with a clean exit hairline.

If the top loop feels shaky, practice the ascender loop alone before writing the full letter.
