How lowercase t joins other letters
Cursive letters slant forward and are joined together. The ending curve of the first letter can join the starting curve of the next letter — so what lowercase t does next depends only on which stroke the next letter starts with: an undercurve, a downcurve, or an overcurve.
undercurve → undercurveti
The undercurve of the t joins the undercurve of the i.
undercurve → downcurveta
The undercurve of the t joins the downcurve of the a.
undercurve → overcurvetn
The undercurve of the t joins the overcurve of the n.
