Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.35×, while the whole image is 1.12 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 5 enclosed loops and 2 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 32% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
Bob Dylan’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates enlarged rounded capitals with expressive public presentation. The two repeated openings emphasize both rows, and the longer surname descender extends that gesture below the name.
