Questions and answers
How many letters are in the cursive alphabet?
26, the same letters as print. Each has a capital and a lowercase form, so the cards and the chart on this page show 52 letter shapes.
Which cursive style is this?
The letters are drawn in Playwrite US Trad, a traditional US cursive typeface; the font credit is at the foot of the page. Every cursive sheet on this site uses the same letters.
What do the numbers and arrows on the letters mean?
A numbered dot marks where each stroke begins, in the order the strokes are written, and the arrows show which way the pen moves. A new number starts after a pen lift or a sharp turn.
Can I print only the chart?
Yes. Under Print the cursive alphabet, the chart is a one-page PDF. The download at the top of the page is the full set: the chart, then a tracing page for each letter.
Is there a page for each cursive letter?
Yes. Tap a card in the A to Z above to open that letter's page, where a generator makes a tracing sheet for the capital, the lowercase letter or both.
