Cursive z is a specialty letter: a mid-height top stroke that drops into a descender loop below the baseline in most American school styles. Printed z habits die hard, so explicit stroke practice is essential. Uppercase Z can be a simple angular form or an ornate capital with a crossbar. Though uncommon in English, z appears in names and borrowed wordsβworth learning well. Decorative fonts often give z a dramatic final swash.
