Opening, letter body and finish
The opening is lower than the typical letter body. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.83×, while the whole image is 1.42 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 1 enclosed loop and 2 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 59% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
Che Guevara’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates a prominent tall stroke with public emphasis. The short separate underline gives the abbreviated name another accent, while its rounded smaller forms provide a softer surrounding rhythm.
