At least I think so. Yes, in a typographical sense, it kind of sucks. The capital variation is a little unbalanced and its large right space usually creates kerning issues. Then the lowercase little brother looks like a capital I in most sans serifs but the essence and personality of the letter L is still cool. Just think about the words that start with it: lion, little, love, Luke (super cool name), and library. I don&#8217;t know why but I just tend to like words that have L in them.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s actually kind of weird that I like the letter L so much because when I was younger and had a speech impediment, I rarely pronounced L&#8217;s correctly. I called ladder &#8220;laddel,&#8221; wolf &#8220;woaf,&#8221; and even pronounced my own name &#8220;chubby.&#8221; Luckily I can speak better now.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, L is one of my favorite letters and here is the drop cap that celebrates it:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-258\" title=\"L Drop Cap\" src=\"http:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/l_dropcap.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/l_dropcap.gif 580w, https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/l_dropcap-300x206.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have a favorite letter?
