Cursive k

Stroke order

1. 1Swing up from the baseline into the same tall loop as h.
2. 2Pull the stem straight down to the baseline.
3. 3Climb back up the stem and curve around into a small closed loop at the midline.
4. 4Slant down to the right to the baseline and kick out into the next letter.

Where it joins

The kick of its leg is the joining stroke: it ends on the baseline and leads into the next letter. After b, o, v and w its loop rises straight from their stroke at the midline, as in “ok”.

Mixed up with

k is h with a knot: where h has a round hump, k has a small closed loop and a leg. Print k’s straight arm and leg are gone.
