Lowercase h

The lowercase h belongs to the ascender loop family.

It begins with a tall looped ascender, then moves into a compound curve. The goal is to keep the ascender stable and the second part rhythmic.

The h should feel connected, not like a tall stroke followed by a separate bump.

Practice slowly and focus on five things:

Make the loop and compound curve feel like one connected movement.

1. Start with a controlled ascender loop.
2. Keep the shaded stroke steady.
3. Turn smoothly into the second part.
4. Keep the inner space balanced.
5. Finish with a clean exit hairline.

If the second part feels cramped, widen the spacing slightly without breaking the rhythm.
