How to write N in cursive

These steps follow the traditional school letters shown above. Other handwriting systems may form N differently, so stay consistent with the style you are learning.

Capital N in cursive

  1. Start with a small hook at the top left and pull the stem down to the baseline.
  2. Retrace up and round over into one tall arch.
  3. Come down the right side and finish with a short exit curve on the baseline.

Lowercase n in cursive

  1. Start at the baseline and round over the first hump at the midline.
  2. Retrace up and make a second hump the same height.
  3. Curve out of the last downstroke into the exit stroke.

Common mistakes with cursive N

  • Adding a third hump, which turns lowercase n into m.
  • Rounding the bottom instead of the top, which makes n look like u.
  • Making the capital arch so wide that the N stops reading as one letter.
