COPY-SLIP NO. 73. THE LETTER f.

COPY-SLIP NO. 75. ELEMENTARY STROKES FORMING THE LETTER 



LESSONS IN PENMANSHIP. XX. 



THE simplest method of writing the letter f, and that which is 

 most generally used in writing large-hand copies, is shown in 

 Copy-slip No. 73. In this form, which is repeated in Copy-slip 

 No. 74, where f is given in conjunction with other letter*, it is 

 commenced with a fine hair-stroke a little above the lino c c, 

 which is carried upwards until it reaches the line fc k, where it 

 is turned towards the left and brought downwards across the 

 fine up-stroke, the pressure on the pen being gradually increased 

 until a thick down-stroke is formed, which terminates at the 

 line g g. The letter is finished with a hair-stroke carried out 

 from the back of the letter, about the line c c, to the left, ami 

 then brought to the right in a curve across the down-stroke. 

 In small-hand writing, the lower part of the letter f is generally 



made in the form of a loop, the pressure of the pen being 

 relaxed, and the down-stroke narrowed gradually until it U 

 turned at the bottom in a hair-stroke, which is carried upwards 

 and across the down-stroke about the line c c, or centre of 

 the letter, in a small loop. Sometimes the loop at the upper 

 part of the letter is omitted, the down-stroke being commenced 

 at the line ee (see Copy-slip No. 10, p. 60, for the height of 

 this lino above a a), and thickened very gradually until it reaches 

 its thickest part about the line bb, when the pressure on the 

 pen is immediately lessened to narrow the stroke into the fine 

 line that forms the loop below the line b b. Examples of tho 

 methods of making the letter f that have just been described 

 will be found in future copy-slips. In Copy-slip > 

 tho learner will find tho elementary strokes that form the 

 letter k.
