How to write upon in cursive
- Start with the u (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve): two undercurves side by side, the opposite motion of the n.
- 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 o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
How the letters in upon connect
- up u to p: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the u swings up into the p.
- po p to o: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the p swings up into the o.
- on o to n: a checkstroke join. The o ends at the midline, so the n starts from the top instead of from the baseline.

Upon questions
How many strokes does it take to write upon in cursive?
1 stroke: one continuous stroke for the letters. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Which letters in upon are joined at the midline?
The o. 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 "upon" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is upon capitalized in cursive?
Only at the start of a sentence or in a title. In running text "upon" is written in lowercase, all letters joined. The capitalized form Upon is shown above for sentence openers and headings.
Is upon an easy word to write in cursive?
Yes. None of its letters (u, p, o, n) is among the tricky ones (r, s, f, k, b), which makes "upon" a good early practice word.
