Letter-specific note
Lowercase d often combines an a-like rounded body with a taller ascender. Capital D varies considerably between handwriting systems.
Readability: The tall ascender is the strongest cue that separates d from a in many cursive hands.
Joining: After the rounded body, the exit into the next letter should remain separate from the ascender so the d does not look like a crowded a or cl.
