●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 its a script font, sometime the ts or fs and js or ys may hit other letters. ●All pieces are "pre-separated", no scissors or cutting needed.
