Axel is four letters with the capital A and the uncommon cursive x that gives the name its distinctive look. The x requires a forward stroke written with the word and a crossing stroke added afterward. The el ending is clean and tall.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital A sweeps right at the baseline. From there, begin the x's main diagonal stroke. Add the crossing stroke after finishing the name.
The x's main stroke ends near the baseline. Connect into the e's curve from there.
The cursive x is the centerpiece. Practice its two-stroke technique separately.
Add the x's crossing stroke after writing all four letters, just like crossing a t.
The l at the end should be tall and confident, giving the name a strong finish.
