G

G (minuscule: g) is the seventh letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other Western European languages, and others worldwide. Its name in English is gee (pronounced ), plural gees. The lowercase version can be written in two forms: the single-storey (sometimes "opentail") form ⟨⟩ and the double-storey (sometimes "looptail") form ⟨⟩. The former is commonly used in handwriting and typefaces based on it, especially in texts intended to be read by children; it is the style used by most sans-serif typefaces, such as Helvetica. The latter form is used by most serif typefaces, such as Times.
