These are interchangeable letters so there will be slight gaps between letters, but stand back far enough and they generally look like smooth handwriting.
The small lowercase letters vary in height but are appx .6" tall (a,e,o, u) etc. The taller lowercase letters (h,b,d, etc) uppercase and numbers(if purchased) are about 1.2" tall.
"Swishes" are included allowing for some extra flair on the first and last characters.
Because it's a script font, sometime the t's or f's and j's or y's may hit other letters.
All pieces are "pre-separated", no scissors or cutting needed.
