Fine Cyrillic forms with a deep middle loop

A large fine opening loop leads into small pointed Cyrillic name forms. A deeper oval return drops below the middle-to-later part of the writing, followed by a long diagonal ending. Compare the upper opening with that lower loop to follow the name’s vertical range around a narrow connected body band.

Opening, letter body and finish

The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 2.22×, while the whole image is 3.42 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes below the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.

Loops and the lower flourish

The sample contains 2 enclosed loops and 2 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.

Alexander Pushkin’s signature in graphology

Traditional graphology associates enlarged loops with expressive emphasis. In this Cyrillic specimen the fine connected forms give the name a flowing rhythm, punctuated by the deeper return beneath its later letters.
