Cursive Letter S โ€” How to Write & Copy-Paste ๐“ˆ

By Alex Rivera ยท Last updated August 2, 2026 ยท Last tested: July 28, 2026

Cursive s is a compact, wave-like formโ€”not the printed snake shape many adults default to. It usually starts with an undercurve, rises into a small closed or nearly closed top, and exits along the baseline. Uppercase S is a larger double curve used constantly in signatures. Because s ends many English words, a stable exit stroke keeps sentence endings tidy. Decorative fonts exaggerate s into dramatic swashes; school script keeps it modest.

How to write cursive S

  1. 1
    Undercurve: Enter from the baseline with a rising undercurve.
  2. 2
    Top curve: Form the small upper curve that gives s its identity.
  3. 3
    Baseline exit: Finish along the baseline ready for the next letter or word space.
  4. 4
    Capital S: Stack two opposing curves into a balanced tall S.

How to connect S to the next letters

Connect s into t, h, or e carefullyโ€”the exit should not add an extra hump. At word ends, stop cleanly without a trailing flick.
