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.

The cursive capital B

The cursive capital B keeps its printed skeleton — a tall stem with two rounded lobes — drawn in one flowing pass. In most school styles it does not join to the letter after it.
