How to Write Cursive Capital T
Stroke Instructions
Start with a horizontal stroke along the top line, moving from left to right. From the right end of the horizontal stroke, curve down in a long sweeping stroke to the baseline. Some styles add a small loop where the horizontal meets the vertical. End with an exit stroke to the right.
Tips for Success
- The horizontal top stroke establishes the T shape
- The downward stroke should be smooth and slightly curved
- The cross can have a slight curve for elegance
- End with a clean connection to the next letter
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- The horizontal stroke being too short or too long
- The downstroke being too straight (should have some curve)
- Not connecting smoothly to the next letter
