The second join: il, it, ik, ul with no lead in

The letters are formed by following the right starting point and direction. All of the letters have a starting point on the x-height line. The second join goes from the baseline to the ascender line when joining to a tall letter. The second join goes from the baseline to in between the x-height line and the ascender line when joining the letter t. The pencil only lifts to add the dot to the i and the cross to the t once you have finished the letter string.
