Letter y

The y-loop shows drive, physical energy and how the writer relates to their needs.

What you will learn
  • Full round loop, healthy vitality
  • Straight tail, no-nonsense energy
  • Long narrow loop, unmet needs or restlessness

The tail of the y drops into the lower zone and speaks the language of the body.

A full loop that returns cleanly to the baseline suggests a writer in touch with their drive. A single straight stroke suggests someone who acts on need without much fuss.

Very long or narrow loops often flag needs that are not being met.
