Lowercase g

The lowercase g belongs to the descender loop family.

It combines an oval body with a descending loop. The goal is a balanced upper form, a narrow descender loop, and a smooth hairline return.

The lower loop should not become wide or balloon-like. Keep it narrow and controlled.

Practice slowly and focus on five things:

Keep the oval stable before moving into the descender loop.

1. Build a stable oval body.
2. Keep the counter balanced.
3. Pull into the descender with controlled pressure.
4. Keep the lower loop narrow.
5. Return with a light hairline.

If the descender loop becomes too wide, practice the descender stroke separately before returning to the full letter.
