Entry Lab
Design the first movement before it reaches the first letter.
Entry strokes are studied as part of the composition rather than as decoration automatically attached to every word.
Direct start
Compare a word with no added entry stroke against versions with a lead-in. Learners decide whether the word already has enough directional movement on its own.
Light lead-in
Practise small hairline entries that support the first letter without competing with it. Exercises focus on angle and where the lead-in meets the main structure.
Opening loop
A loop is added only when there is enough surrounding space. Learners compare crossing positions and decide when the loop becomes visually heavier than the first letter.
Entry and margin
Later cases place a word inside a fixed rectangle so learners can test whether the entry stroke improves or damages the left margin.
