How the cursive r works: joins, family, and the usual mistake
R is an undercurve-family letter (i, j, p, r, s, t, u, w), and with s, one of the two trickiest in it. A tall, pointed shoulder turns r into a broken n. Keep the jog small and at the midline.

The cursive capital R
The cursive capital R starts like P (tall stem, closed lobe) then adds a kicked-out leg that lands on the baseline and joins the next letter.
