Uppercase C
The uppercase C is built around a large open curve.
The goal is a smooth, confident shape with a clean opening and a controlled finish. This letter depends on proportion more than pressure. If the curve is uneven, the whole letter feels unstable.
Keep the movement light at the beginning, then let the curve open with control.
Practice slowly and focus on five things:
- Begin with a smooth entry curve.
- Keep the main curve open and balanced.
- Avoid closing the letter too much.
- Maintain consistent slant and spacing.
- Finish with a clean hairline.
If the C looks too round, narrow the form slightly. If it looks too flat, slow down and rebuild the curve.
