How to write Nolan in cursive
- Start with a capital N (curve forward, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve). Start at the baseline. Curve forward to the topline and slant down to the baseline.
- Swing up into the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- 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 n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
