Cursive X

How to write cursive x

1. Swing up from the baseline to the midline.
2. Curve down and to the left, back to the baseline.
3. Exit to the right into the next letter.
4. Finish the word, then cross the body with one diagonal stroke.

The capital X

Capital X is the same idea at full height: one curved stroke down from the top line, then one diagonal across it.

Print at 100% on US Letter — not “fit to page”. The ruling is classroom size, and scaling the page down makes every letter the wrong size; the 10 cm scale at the foot of the sheet is there to check against. Every block gives you a model row in full ink, a pale row to trace over and empty ruled rows of your own.
