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