Uppercase Cursive Letters (A–Z)
Uppercase (capital) cursive letters stand out with taller strokes, sweeping entry loops, and decorative flourishes. They reach the top headline and are used for proper nouns, the beginnings of sentences, and initial signatures.

Connecting vs. Non-Connecting Capital Cursive Letters
In standard American school cursive, not every capital letter joins directly to the following lowercase letter. Capital letters generally fall into two distinct behavioral categories:
1. Connecting Capital Letters
These capitals end with an upward exit stroke at or near the baseline that flows naturally into the first lowercase letter of the word:
Example: Writing "America" or "Chicago" allows one continuous stroke from the capital into the lowercase letters.
2. Non-Connecting Capital Letters
These capitals finish near the headline, midline, or with an inward curl. The writer lifts the pen before starting the next lowercase letter at the baseline:
Example: In "Boston", "David", or "Texas", the capital is completed, pen is lifted, and the lowercase letter starts cleanly.
