Long ladder letters are known for their straight lines.

Some are simple with just a straight line down like ‘l’.

Whereas others follow more complicated patterns such as ‘t’.

They still start the same, straight down, before the pencil leaves the page then comes back over to cross the ‘t’.

There are those that even head back up for a second line joined by a curve underneath like ‘u’ and ‘y’.

The exceptions are ‘I’ and ‘j’ which always leaves an extra dot behind.
