| Header: | The Crossbar "I" mistake | ||
| Bulletin: |  One of the most common mistakes that new and novice letterers make is the Crossbar "I". The Tameri Guide for Writers states that "characters such as the capital H and lowercase t feature horizontal strokes. When the horizontal meets two vertical strokes, it is called a crossbar." Comic lettering site, Balloon Tales says "Crossbar"I" is used for the pronoun "I", as in "I'm", "I'll", etc., and for the pronoun "I" only. The appearance of a crossbar "I" in the middle of a word is the first mark of an amateur lettering job.". I have seen this mistake made thousands of time and even by professions. Make your work stand out by getting this little but important lettering tip right. |
