Frequently Asked Questions About Cursive P

How is cursive 'p' different from 'q'?

Both have descenders, but cursive 'p' has a loop on the left side of the stem, while 'q' has a loop on the right side. Think of 'p' as having the loop before the descender, and 'q' as having the loop after. The 'q' loop is usually more circular and complete.

Should the descender of 'p' be straight or curved?

Traditional cursive 'p' has a relatively straight descender, but many modern styles add a slight leftward curve for elegance. For formal writing, keep it fairly straight. For artistic calligraphy, a gentle curve adds flair without sacrificing readability.

How far below the baseline should 'p' extend?

The descender of cursive 'p' should extend approximately the same distance below the baseline as ascenders extend above the x-heightβ€”typically 1.5 to 2 times the x-height. This creates visual balance and consistent proportions across all your letters.
