A detached angular initial beside an oval crossing
An angular initial occupies a separate area at the left. To its right, a broad horizontal oval crosses a series of compact pointed strokes, ending in a tiny loop. Compare the detached opening with the denser connected group: the autograph combines a wide rounded upper gesture with a much sharper lower rhythm.

Opening, letter body and finish
The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 2.24×, while the whole image is 3.85 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes above the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.
Loops and the lower flourish
The sample contains 3 enclosed loops and 2 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
Adolf Hitler’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates angular strokes with determination and oval flourishes with expressive emphasis. The detached opening and oval crossing emphasize different parts of this compact mark.
