Uppercase O

Copperplate uppercase O construction steps

The uppercase O is built from a large oval movement.

The goal is a balanced outer shape, a clean inner space, and smooth pressure control. This letter depends strongly on proportion.

Keep the shape open, elegant, and aligned.

Practice slowly and focus on five things:

  1. Begin with a smooth entrance.
  2. Keep the oval balanced.
  3. Maintain an even inner space.
  4. Control pressure through the curve.
  5. Close the form cleanly.

If the O looks lopsided, slow down and practice the oval movement before adding style.
