Allegro Tips
Some quick tips for successfully writing Allegro letters are given below:
- Make a round circle, and make the tail the same height as the circle (a long tail can cause confusion
with q).
- Complete the circle to distinguish from h.
- Avoid a hook at the start, which can make the letter look like e.
- Make the upstroke much higher than the initial circle, to avoid confusion with a.
- Start with a horizontal line, going from left to right.
- This variant form will probably need to be learned.
- Avoid looping the tail back, to avoid confusion with f, or t.
- A definite arch distinguishes this from b.
- Avoid hooks at the start and end of the downstroke.
- Avoid looping the tail back, to avoid confusion with t.
- The final downstroke can have a c shape.
- Making the upstroke and downstroke coincide avoids confusion with e.
- Starting m with an upstroke may require practice.
- Starting n with an upstroke may require practice.
- Start the circle at the topmost point.
- Complete the circle (p with a badly formed circle can look like f).
- The final rightward upstroke avoids confusion with g.
- Start with a vertical downstroke, then curve off the upstroke gradually to the right, finishing in a
rightward direction (to avoid confusion with v).
- Make the usual s-shape.
- Avoid an initial upward hook.
- Make the tail the same height as the u-shape.
- Two equal straight lines at a sharp angle, with the upstroke more vertical than horizontal, should
avoid confusion with r.
- Avoid an initial upward hook.
- This unusual way to make x takes some practice, but is quite unambiguous.
- Make the u-shape quite open to avoid confusion with g, and make the tail descend well below the
base of the u.
- Make the usual z-shape.
- This is the German character representing a double s.
