How Z and z are drawn on this sheet
On the model row, capital Z is drawn in 3 strokes. Stroke 1 starts on the top line at the left and slides right; stroke 2 starts on the top line at the right and slants down to the left; stroke 3 starts on the baseline at the left and slides right. For lowercase z the arrows show 3 strokes. Stroke 1 starts on the dashed midline at the left and slides right; stroke 2 starts on the dashed midline at the right and slants down to the left; stroke 3 starts on the baseline at the left and slides right. Lowercase z fits between the dashed midline and the baseline. Each form gets one solid model and two dotted copies; later rows are dotted only, in lighter gray, and the page ends with a blank row.
