How to write never in cursive
- Start with the n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- 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.
