Adrian is six letters with the dr connection in the middle that forces a height change from the tall d to the short r. The capital A opens boldly, and the i-a-n ending flows with gentle curves. The name has a refined look when the letter heights are handled well.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital A sweeps right at the baseline. Push up into the d's tall stem with a confident upstroke.
The d drops from its height back to the baseline and exits into the small cursive r. The r should be noticeably shorter.
The i connects to the a at the midline. Keep both letters small and evenly sized.
The dr connection is the hardest part. Practice the d-to-r height drop separately.
Dot the i after finishing all six letters.
The d should be clearly taller than the surrounding letters. It anchors the first half of the name.
