How to write Piper in cursive
- Start with a capital P (undercurve, slant, retrace, curve around). Start at the baseline. Make an undercurve up to the topline, then slant down to the baseline.
- Lift the pencil after the P, then write the i (undercurve, slant, undercurve; dot): a short undercurve and slant, with the dot added after the word is finished.
- Swing up into the p (undercurve, slant, loop, overcurve, curve back, undercurve): a long slant below the baseline with a small bowl that closes on the baseline.
- Swing up into 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.
- After the word, dot the i.
