k

I love the letter K, it’s my favorite in all the alphabet. Whether capitalized or in lower case, it goes nicely with other letters or standing by itself. Its sound is just right, sharp enough, neither too much (like the Qaf in Arabic is), nor too soft/alternating (like a C might be). It’s also right in the middle of my first and last names. It can carry the elegance of a queen, or the spunk of a princess. It could fit in anywhere, with any group of letters, but to me, it’d go best somewhere near a y. This letter is uniquely served in togetherness, as it extends its curve, surrounding the k, and so the two letters can catch the wind and float into any passing breeze.
