Q
1. Q resembles O with a tail: see O.
2. There are many characteristic varieties of the tail: see Tails (pp. [289]–[291]).
3. Note.—Q being always followed by U, it is convenient often to deal with the two letters together. (See [Plate II.])
R
1. See B, 1 and 2.
2. See O, 2.
3. In the form nearest the essential, the junction of the Bow and the Tail touches the stem. If the tail springs from the curve of the bow ([Plate II.]) greater care in construction is necessary (compare K). The treatment of the tail is very important. It may end in a serif (see A, 2), or it may be curved and pointed (see Tails, pp. [289]–[291]). It may be drawn out (see fig. [50]).
4. See F, 3 (& comp. fig. [169]).
