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

S is an undercurve-family letter (i, j, p, r, s, t, u, w); its closed-sail body is unique in the alphabet. Trying to snake a print-style S between the lines — the cursive letter is built from the undercurve, not from the print shape.

The cursive capital S

The cursive capital S rises from a baseline lead-in into a tall, swan-like double curve — one of the prettiest capitals, and one that barely resembles print S.
