How to write table in cursive
- Start with the t (undercurve, slant, undercurve; cross): a tall retraced undercurve and slant, shorter than the l, crossed after the word is written.
- 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 b (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): a tall loop that comes back down to the baseline, then a small curve ending in a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the b, write the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- After the word, cross the t.
How the letters in table connect
- ta t to a: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the t swings up into the a.
- ab a to b: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the a swings up into the b.
- bl b to l: a checkstroke join. The b ends at the midline, so the l starts from the top instead of from the baseline.
- le l to e: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the l swings up into the e.
