Nathan has the bold capital N and two pairs of letters that share similar shapes. The th combination in the middle is one of the most useful pairings to master. The a-n endings on both halves of the name give it a pleasing symmetry.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital N drops to the baseline. Sweep into the a with a short upstroke, keeping the a small and round.
The t connects to the h at the baseline. The h rises tall from that connection. Cross the t after finishing the name.
The h's final hump exits at the midline into the a. Keep the connection smooth and the a clearly rounded.
The th connection appears in hundreds of words. Master it here and use it everywhere.
Cross the t after writing all six letters.
The capital N should have sharp, pointed peaks. Do not round them off.
