Uppercase and lowercase examples
Uppercase L
Capital L can be elegant with a long opening stroke, but the lower curve should not hide the next letter.
Lowercase l
Lowercase l is mostly a tall loop. Keep the loop open so it does not look like i or b.
Practice focus
Try le, lo, la, and ly to practice smooth exits from the loop.
