  2. 2Go back and cross the t.

Size is what makes honesty readable: tall h and t, midline-height o, n, e, and s, and below-the-line y. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.

Follow the joins as you write honesty: h ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of o; o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the overcurve opening of n; n ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of e; e ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of s; s ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t; the remaining 1 joins follow the same rhythm to the end of the word.
