How it works
F in bubble letters is a stem, two arms and one slot between them. Fatten the strokes and the slot shrinks to a single drawn line. That line is enough. These five fonts show it, capital and small.

The slot becomes a line
At the opening strength all five draw the slot as one dark line, where two outlines meet. Mochiy Pop One leads: its slot turns white first as the look is turned down. Bubblegum Sans is slim, a flag on its top corner. Chango is the square one, as wide as tall. Lilita One is a narrow block. Chewy bends both arms like handwriting.
A white slot
Outline, under Look, opens the slot in all five. So does a lower Strength of the look, in More options, where Chewy opens last. The lower part of F is bare stem, and that square step under the middle arm is what reads as F.
Tips
- In Fox the o presses against F's middle arm and the two outlines join. By hand, leave a gap.
- Fifty puts f beside t. The hook on top is what tells f from t, so draw it big.
- Stop the middle arm short of the top one. All five fonts do.
Questions and answers
How do you draw a bubble letter F?
Pencil a stem with two arms pointing right, one at the top and one at the middle. Trace one outline around all three. Where the arms sit close, let the two outlines share a single line, then rub out the pencil.
How do you draw a lowercase f in bubble letters?
Pencil a stem that bends right into a hook at the top, then cross it about a third of the way down. The space between hook and bar is small f's own slot, so keep the hook high. Chewy swings its bar to the left.
Why does my bubble letter F look like a P?
The slot has closed. Without it a fat F is a block on a stem, which is a P with no hole. Draw the slot as a line from the right edge in to the stem, and keep the corner under the middle arm square.
