## How the Old English G is built

Capital G is a large rounded bowl with a short vertical spur on the right. The lowercase g has a closed upper bowl and a descender that bends left, sometimes into an open hook.

## Easily confused with

Capital G and capital S can look alike at a glance because both are built from curves. G has the vertical spur on the right side.

## Where people use it

G is used for names like Gabriel or Grace, and in the word Gothic itself when people style band or brand names.

- Golden: 𝕲𝖔𝖑𝖉𝖊𝖓
- Grace: 𝕲𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖊
- Gabriel: 𝕲𝖆𝖇𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖑
- Gothic: 𝕲𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖈
