Cursive N
n is the model arch, which is why it comes before h, m, k and r in most handwriting programmes. A cursive n is a short letter, and it hands over to the next letter low.
This is the same renderer the generator uses. Open it with n already filled in to change size, rows and guides, then print.
How to write a cursive n
- Start on the baseline, sweep up to the midline and come back down.
- Arch once to the right, landing on the baseline.
- Exit to the right, level with the baseline.
A n sits in the short zone. Capital N is written like a small n scaled up to the top line.
Joining n to the next letter
n is the model for every arch letter, so the join is short. na, ne, an.
Where it usually goes wrong
n is drawn as tall as h. It never goes above the midline.
Words to practise after the letter
Once the single letter holds its shape, put it into short words where it appears once: no, and, funny. Type any of them into the generator above and it will lay out eight ruled rows of tracing for you.
