How the letters in Peyton connect

2 of Peyton's 4 joins leave the letter on an undercurve. The exceptions are y-t, where y ends on an overcurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t and o-n, where o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the overcurve opening of n. Remember: the capital P stands alone, so lift the pencil before the next letter.
