The capitals people struggle with
Q is the celebrity: the traditional cursive capital Q looks like a number 2, so famously that it was redesigned for schools in 1996. S is a swan-curve that shares nothing with its print form, G is widely considered the hardest capital to master, and J is one of the few capitals that dips below the baseline.
Do capitals connect to the next letter?
Some do, some don’t. Capitals that end with a tail at the baseline — A, C, E, H, J, K, M, N, R, U, X, Z — join straight into the next letter. Capitals that end away from the baseline — like B, D, F, O, P, S, T, V, W — traditionally stand alone, with the next letter starting separately. Both habits are correct; consistency is what matters.
Capital letter questions
When do you use cursive capitals?
Exactly where print capitals go: sentence starts, names, places. In signatures, capitals are often exaggerated — that flourish is personal style built on the standard forms in the chart above.
Which cursive capital should I learn first?
C, then A, then O — all three are built on the big oval sweep, and they unlock D, E, G and Q which reuse the same motion at capital scale.
Why is capital G so hard?
It compresses three different motions — a C-sweep, a rise to a point and a looped stem — into one letter, and its finished shape barely resembles the print G, so the hand has no shortcut from memory.
