What is a Descending Loop?

A descending loop is a brush lettering stroke that creates a loop extending below the baseline, commonly found in letters like “g” and “y.” The stroke begins with a heavy downstroke, curves at the descender, and finishes with a light upstroke. Mastering the descending loop is key to creating balanced, fluid letterforms with graceful descenders.
