How the cursive b works — joins, family, and the usual mistake

B is a loop-family letter (b, e, f, h, k, l) and a top-joiner: like o, v and w, it connects to the next letter from the midline, which changes that letter's entry stroke. Writers often drop b's exit swing to the baseline, which turns be into ba — keep the hand-off at the midline.
