How to Write Capital E in Cursive
Cursive capital E differs significantly from the printed E because it has no horizontal arms. Instead, the Palmer-style E consists of two stacked left-facing loops that share a single continuous stroke. The upper loop is smaller than the lower loop, and the letter ends with a small inward curl at the baseline.

How to Write Capital E
Start near the cap line and curve upward and to the left, looping back through itself to form the small upper bump. Without lifting, continue downward and curve left again to form a larger lower bump that closes with a small inward curl at the baseline.
- Adding horizontal arms like a printed E — cursive E has none.
- Making the upper and lower loops the same size; the lower must be larger.
- Letting the loops drift apart instead of stacking them along a vertical center line.
Decorative Variations of Capital E

- ✦Spencerian: very narrow stacked ovals with hairline transitions.
- ✦Modern flourished: oversized lower loop that extends into a swooping underline.
- ✦Engrosser's script: shaded downstrokes on the left side of each loop.
Does Capital E Connect to the Next Letter?
Capital E is non-connecting in Palmer Method. The terminal curl ends inside the lower loop, requiring a pen lift before the next letter.
