Character-by-Character Stroke Matrix for "Alejandro"
| Letter | Stroke Family | Cursive Execution Cue |
|---|---|---|
| #1 A | Capital Anchor Stroke | Anchor uppercase "A" at the topline starting dot (55° slant) and lead smoothly into "l". Touch the 2 o’clock midline mark, sweep counter-clockwise to close the round belly, and pull a 55° stem to the baseline. |
| #2 l | Vertical Loop & Slant Stem | Join "A→l" smoothly from the baseline: Sweep a generous undercurve to the topline, turn smoothly without pinching the tip, and pull down at a 55° slant. |
| #3 e | Undercurve Swing Stroke | Join "l→e" smoothly from the baseline: Swing upward from the baseline into an airy eyelet loop that crosses cleanly just above the solid baseline. |
| #4 j | Vertical Loop & Slant Stem | Join "e→j" smoothly from the baseline: Glide up to the midline, pull straight down into the descender loop, and dot the stem once the word is complete. |
| #5 a | Counter-Clockwise Oval (2 O’Clock) | Join "j→a" smoothly from the baseline: Touch the 2 o’clock midline mark, sweep counter-clockwise to close the round belly, and pull a 55° stem to the baseline. |

| #7 d | Counter-Clockwise Oval (2 O’Clock) | Join "n→d" smoothly from the baseline: Close the counter-clockwise oval first, continue straight up to the topline stem, and retrace down without splitting. |
| #8 r | Undercurve Swing Stroke | Join "d→r" smoothly from the baseline: Rise slightly past the midline to form a crisp rocking-chair shelf, then slide down to the baseline connection. |
| #9 o | Counter-Clockwise Oval (2 O’Clock) | Join "r→o" smoothly from the baseline: Close the counter-clockwise oval at the top and exit horizontally along the dashed midline via a high towrope. |
