How to write J in cursive
- Start uppercase J with a tall entry stroke that curves down into a smooth hook.
- Let the bottom curve turn gently upward so the capital stays elegant and readable.
- For lowercase j, begin above the midline, drop below the baseline, and finish with a clean hook plus dot.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting the dot on lowercase j.
- Making the lower hook too sharp, which can look like a printed letter.
- Letting uppercase J become so decorative that it reads like I.
