lowercase letters. The slant line is at 55 degrees and the x-height is labeled on the bottom.
I’ve provided both 4/16 inch and 3/16 inch. Tip: Practice on a bigger x-height first. This
will enable you to see your mistakes. When you are ready, move onto the smaller x-height.

The general ratio from the x-height to 2nd ascender/descender line is 1:3. Remember to
think ‘ovals’ when writing, keep your downstrokes parallel to the slant line, and write
slowly! Enjoy!

Let me know if this is helpful for you! I’d love to hear your feedback.

uppercase letters. The ovals are there as a guide to give you a visual as you practice. Some
letters (O, Q) may naturally fall in the oval shape, but don’t feel pressured to stay inside the
oval for all the letters! The slant line is at 55 degrees and the x-height is labeled on the
bottom. I’ve provided both 4/16 inch and 3/16 inch. Tip: Practice on a bigger x-height
first. This will enable you to see your mistakes. When you are ready, move onto the smaller
x-height. Let’s conquer those uppercase letters together! Enjoy!
