Keep o, u, and c small — they live between the baseline and the midline. Let d, l, and k climb toward the topline. g dips under the baseline before swinging back up.

How the letters in good luck connect

3 of good luck's 6 joins leave the letter on an undercurve. The exceptions are g-o, where g ends on an overcurve that carries into the downcurve opening of o, o-o, where o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the downcurve opening of o, and o-d, where o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the downcurve opening of d. Remember: lift between words and leave a finger space.
