Lowercase v

The lowercase v belongs to the compound curve family.

It uses a controlled pressure-and-release movement with a narrower structure than u. The goal is a clean entry, steady shaded stroke, and balanced exit.

The v should stay elegant and readable without becoming too sharp or too wide.

Practice slowly and focus on five things:

Keep the lower space balanced and avoid turning the form into a sharp angle.

1. Begin with a light entrance.
2. Build pressure smoothly.
3. Keep the shaded stroke aligned.
4. Release cleanly into the exit.
5. Keep the lower space balanced.

If the v feels too angular, soften the turn without widening the letter too much.
