Tips on Drawing 'M' & 'm' | #36daysoftype

Tips for drawing your capital M. With the number of strokes and rhythm in the M, it can be confusing where to put that weight. Make sure that your thick strokes are in numbers two and four.

Make sure that capital M is a little bit wider than your capital O. And capital M's can have either perfectly vertical legs or sprayed legs to take up a little bit more optical space on the side and give some breathing space in the counters of that bottom part.

For your lowercase M, it's really just two lowercase n's. They're a little bit narrower than they are for the standalone N, and then you customize the joint in between the two bumpy parts to the lowercase M, so it's not exactly the same piece duplicated, but that joint in the middle is custom and tailored to look uniform.

Let me know in the comments your favorite tips for m.
