How to Write a Cursive Capital N β€” Step by Step

Follow these steps to write a perfect uppercase cursive N by hand.

1Start at the baseline. Pull your pen straight up to the top line in one upward stroke.
2From the top, curve your pen diagonally downward to the right, dipping toward the baseline in a smooth arc.
3From the bottom of that diagonal, pull your pen straight back up to the top line again β€” forming the second vertical stroke.
4Finish with a small curved exit stroke at the baseline, flowing naturally to the right to connect to the next letter.

πŸ’‘ Key tip: The defining feature of the cursive capital N is the diagonal downward hump between the two vertical strokes. Keep it smooth and curved β€” not sharp β€” for the most elegant result.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive n β€” Step by Step

The lowercase cursive n is one of the most common letters in the English language β€” mastering it improves your entire cursive flow.

1Begin at the baseline. Curve your pen upward to the midline.
2From the midline, curve right and back down to the baseline β€” forming the first hump.
3Without lifting your pen, curve back up to the midline and repeat the hump stroke β€” this creates the second arch of the n.
4Finish with a small exit stroke at the baseline flowing right to connect to the next letter.

πŸ’‘ Key tip: Both humps of the lowercase cursive n should be equal in height and width. Uneven humps are the most common mistake beginners make.

What Does a Cursive N Look Like?

The cursive capital N has two tall vertical strokes connected by a smooth diagonal hump that swoops from the top of the first stroke down to the baseline and back up. Unlike the printed N β€” which has two rigid verticals and a straight diagonal β€” the cursive N has flowing, rounded transitions that give it an elegant handwritten quality.

The lowercase cursive n looks like two connected humps or arches, sitting entirely between the baseline and midline. It connects naturally to neighboring letters on both sides, making it one of the most important letters to master for smooth cursive writing.
