The letter 'O'

The letter 'O' (of the English alphabet/modern Latin alphabet) is so mysterious.

It is so unlike any other letter in the alphabet.

Sure 'B' and 'D' are enclosed* letters of the alphabet, but this is only true when they are in their capital form.

The letter 'O', to me, represents a symbol that is of continuity, infinite destination, and unity.

When you write it, you most probably aren't going to keep drawing round-and-round, round-and-round, round-and-round, for the rest of your life, but when you look at the letter 'O'

...in stillness...

.....and in peacefulness.....

.......it is endlessly connected.

Despite this, the letter 'O' is so straightforward.

It is so plain, so dreary, so unoriginal, so basic.

In fancy writing of all kinds, the letter 'O' refuses to conform.

All other letters of the alphabet have the ability to have squiggles and sharp apexes hanging from them, zig-zags and curly-wurls adhering to them, twists and turns EVERYWHERE and the whole set of every-other-thing added into the possibility.

Yet, no matter how you look at it...



Up high.



Centre on.



Down low.



.....



THE 'O' STILL LOOKS LIKE AN 'O'.



But it's the 'O''s simplistic nature that drives me to the main relation I have with it...

...it is my favourite letter of the alphabet.





*By enclosed, I mean the finished product of the written letter is seen by the eye to have no protruding bits. These protruding bits are ones that, when written, have an obvious stick-like appearance.
