## How the Old English L is built

Capital L is a curling stem with a wave along the base. The lowercase l is a tall, simple stroke with an angled top and a small foot.

## Easily confused with

Lowercase l can be mistaken for lowercase i without its dot, or for the long s. Its height is the giveaway.

## Where people use it

L leads several of the most-tattooed words in blackletter: Loyalty, Love and Legacy, plus the L.A. initials.

## Example words

- Loyalty: 𝕷𝖔𝖞𝖆𝖑𝖙𝖞
- Love: 𝕷𝖔𝖛𝖊
- Legacy: 𝕷𝖊𝖌𝖆𝖈𝖞
- Lopez: 𝕷𝖔𝖕𝖊𝖟
