These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital A sweeps to the right at the baseline. Flow into the n's first hump without lifting.
The d's tall stem drops back to the baseline, then exits into the small cursive r. The height drop from d to r is significant.
The e opens to the right into the w. The w has two valleys that should be even in depth.
The dr connection in the middle is the toughest spot. Practice d-to-r transitions separately.
The w at the end is wide. Give it space so the name does not look cramped.
The capital A should have a clear, pointed peak, not a rounded top.
