Frequently Asked Questions About Cursive G

Should the loop of cursive 'g' be open or closed?

Traditionally, the descender loop of cursive 'g' should be closed, creating a complete oval below the baseline. However, in modern cursive and quick handwriting, some people leave it open. For formal calligraphy and elegant writing, a closed loop looks more polished.

How far below the baseline should cursive 'g' extend?

The descender of cursive 'g' should extend about the same distance below the baseline as ascenders extend above the x-height. This creates visual balance. Typically, this is 1.5 to 2 times the x-height distance.

What's the difference between cursive 'g' and 'y'?

While both have descenders, cursive 'g' starts with a closed circle at the top (like 'a'), while 'y' starts with a diagonal stroke. The 'g' loop is usually rounder and fuller, while the 'y' descender can be more angular or simplified depending on the writing style.
