Lowercase f in Cursive
Watch the lowercase f being written, then follow the numbered steps. Sweep up from the baseline into a loop, then come back down through the crossing point.
Step by step
- Start on the baseline and swing up into a tall loop that reaches the top line.
- Come straight down through the baseline into a long loop below it.
- Curve back up on the right side of the lower loop to the baseline.
- Finish with a short tie stroke to the right.
Tip: The upper loop sits above the baseline and the lower loop hangs below it; both loops close on the same slanted line.
