Opening, letter body and finish
The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 2.28×, while the whole image is 4.03 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 5 enclosed loops and 5 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 32% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
Blaise Pascal’s signature in graphology
