April from Juliana - the letter J (1)

 

Juliana found a book, Graffiti Alphabets by Claudia Wadle and gave *Calligraffiti* a try. I love it and even though the address is pretty hard to read, it made its way to my house. I can't tell how long it took because I was out of town for half the month.

A while back I did some complaining about how hard it has been for me to live with the letter J and I've resorted to using a no-cap signature because I could never find a capital J that I liked. Juliana left a comment that she, too, had struggled with her Js. 

There will be more examples of Js coming up. Feel free to leave a comment if you want help with any other letters. I stumbled across an IG account that has many videos on penmanship and examples of stylish capital letters for signatures. The link will take you to J - but, you can scroll through all the posts and you might find other letters and options to improve your caps.

I have not spent a lot of time on this site - the J post has some flowery perspective on Js

The letter J—joyful, just, and journey-bound. With its sweeping curve dipping low before lifting gracefully upward, J carries the spirit of someone who has touched the depths and still chooses to rise. It is a letter shaped like a path—bending, flowing, becoming—never rigid, always real.

J is for journey—the kind that isn’t measured in miles, but in growth, in courage, in how many times you’ve begun again. It’s for joy—not the loud kind that demands attention, but the quiet spark that lives in the little moments: a kind word, a deep breath, a hand held in silence. It’s for justice—the unwavering desire to bring balance and truth, to stand with heart even when it’s not easy.
