How the letters in Brooklyn connect

Follow the joins as you write Brooklyn: r ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of o; o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the downcurve opening of o; o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the undercurve opening of k; k ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of l; l ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of y; the remaining 1 joins follow the same rhythm to the end of the word. Remember: the capital B stands alone, so lift the pencil before the next letter.
