Cursive Letters

A page for each letter, with words and a sheet to print

A letter's own page draws the capital and the small letter again, larger, on four lines: the baseline, the x-height, the cap height and the descender line.

The same page draws the small letter inside words, ten of them for most letters, and no word is on two pages. In every one of those drawn words, each letter touches the next.

Each letter page has a practice sheet that can be printed, made of its two letters.

For 24 of the 26 letters, the pages also name other letters of the font that look like them. A pair is described once, on the page of the letter that comes earlier in the alphabet, and the other letter's page names it.

To type text in cursive characters instead, the cursive font generator gives the letters A to Z and a to z as Unicode script characters.

Questions about the drawings

What does a cursive letter look like?

Each letter is drawn on this page as one font draws it, capital and small; that font is named and credited at the foot of the page. A letter's own page also shows its small letter inside words.

What does a capital letter look like in cursive?

In each pair of drawings above, the capital stands on the left and the small letter on the right. On a letter's own page the capital is also drawn by itself, larger, with the cap height among the lines around it.

One font and one word list

Every letter drawing on these pages comes from one font, and every drawn word is taken from one word list. Both are named and credited here.
