Capital H in cursive
Capital H has two slanted stems joined by a crossbar. The left stem begins with a small curl at the top, and the right stem finishes with an exit stroke.
Lowercase h in cursive
Lowercase h has a tall loop above the midline, comes down to the baseline, and then forms one hump on the right before the exit stroke.
Joining h to other letters
Lowercase h finishes with an exit stroke at the baseline that runs into the next letter. Trace ship to see the connection, then try the word on the blank copy line.
Compare h with lowercase n: the hump is the same, but h starts with the tall loop. In ship, the h follows s and leads into i.
