How to write Forrest in cursive

  1. 1Form the capital F on its own and lift before the next letter.
  2. 2Keep the pencil down through o-r-r-e-s-t, letting each exit stroke become the next letter's entry.
  3. 3Last, return to cross the t and finish the F — always after the body of the word is done.

Size is what makes Forrest readable: full-height capital F, tall t, and midline-height o, r, e, and s. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.
