print letters

Alphabet in ink

Print letters are characters written separately rather than joined in cursive script—the way text appears in books and on screens.

Children typically learn print letters before cursive: Write your name in print letters, not script.

The term also refers to this style of handwriting in adults: His print letters were neat and legible.
