The lowercase version can be written in two forms: the single-storey (sometimes "opentail") ' and the double-storey (sometimes "looptail") '. 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.
