Lowercase i

The lowercase i belongs to the reverse curve family.

It is small and simple, so it shows small mistakes quickly. The goal is a clean light stroke, steady slant, and controlled dot placement.

Do not rush this letter just because it is short. A weak i makes spacing and rhythm look messy very quickly.

Practice slowly and focus on five things:

Keep the stroke light and place the dot with intention.

1. Keep the main stroke light and controlled.
2. Follow the slant guideline.
3. Avoid wobble in the hairline.
4. Place the dot clearly above the stroke.
5. Keep spacing even before the next letter.

If the stroke shakes, reduce pressure and relax your grip.
