How to write gold in cursive

  1. 1Write g, o, l, d as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
Strokes: 1Pencil lifts: 0Letters: 4

Keep o small — it lives between the baseline and the midline. Let l and d climb toward the topline. g dips under the baseline before swinging back up.

How the letters in gold connect

Follow the joins as you write gold: g ends on an overcurve that carries into the downcurve opening of o; o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the undercurve opening of l; l ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of d.
