Frequently asked questions

1. Write E, l, i as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil. 2. Go back and dot the i.

Not quite: the body of Eli flows in one continuous run, but it takes 2 strokes in all. The pencil lifts once: to dot the i.

Follow the joins as you write Eli: E ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of l; l ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of i.

The capital E fills the space between the baseline and the topline. l is a tall letter that reaches toward the topline. i stays between the baseline and the midline.

E is one of the connecting capitals, so Eli flows from its first letter without a lift.
