How to write Maverick in cursive
- Start with a capital M (curve forward, slant, overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve). Start at the baseline. Curve forward to the topline and slant down to the baseline.
- Swing up into the a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the v (overcurve, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): an overcurve down to the baseline and back up, ending with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the v, write the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the r (undercurve, slide right, slant, undercurve): an undercurve, a short slide to the right at the midline, then a slant down.
- Swing up into the i (undercurve, slant, undercurve; dot): a short undercurve and slant, with the dot added after the word is finished.
- Swing up into the c (downcurve, undercurve): a single curve that opens to the right, like a print c with an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the k (undercurve, loop, slant, overcurve, loop, curve right, undercurve): a tall loop like an l, then a small loop at the midline and a kick-out stroke.
- After the word, dot the i.

Which letters in Maverick are joined at the midline?
The v. This letter ends with a short bridge stroke at the midline, so the next letter starts from the top rather than from the baseline. That is what makes "Maverick" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is Maverick capitalized in cursive?

What is the hardest letter in Maverick?
The r and the k. r is the letter most adults get wrong. The slide right is tiny: think of a small step, not a hump. k is one of the hardest lowercase letters. Master h first: the k is an h whose hump collapses into a loop.
