Diego Maradona signature and handwriting analysis
Diego Maradona’s signature sample has 6° of backward slant, a falling baseline and 0 enclosed loops. Comparing autograph strokes, baseline angle (−10.3°), slant (−6°), opening ratio (0.55×) and enclosed loops (0) reveals how individual signature traits contrast with standard handwriting features. Use the layers to follow the writing line, letter band, slant and enclosed loops.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening is lower than the typical letter body. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.55×, while the whole image is 1.70 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 0 enclosed loops and 10 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
All 11 measured signature features
Slant
−6°Angle of the letter strokes from vertical. Positive angles lean right; negative angles lean left.
The signature has a backward slant (−6°). The blue-green guides show the lean of strokes across the name.
Baseline
−10.3°Direction of the writing line from the beginning to the end of the signature.
The writing line falls (−10.3°). The red guide follows the base of the letters, separate from lower loops and flourishes.
Opening capital
0.6×Height of the opening letter relative to the typical letters that follow. 1× means similar heights.
The opening stands 0.6 times as high as the following letters. The purple box marks its area; the dashed blue guide marks the letter-body band.
Enclosed loops
0Closed spaces surrounded by ink, counted across the whole signature.
No enclosed loops are detected. Compare the open curves and joined strokes in the sample.
Ink groups
10Separate connected areas of ink in the image. Dots or detached letters can form additional groups.
The signature contains 10 main ink groups. The visible ink is divided into separate shapes. Look at where those shapes join or separate.
Ink density
8%Share of the signature’s enclosing rectangle occupied by ink.
Ink covers 8% of the measured signature area; the rest is open space. This describes how filled the shape is, rather than how hard the pen pressed.
Underline / flourish
NoneLength of a lower underline or flourish compared with the full signature width.
No long lower underline is detected. The name is carried by the letterforms and their own lower strokes.
Finish height
+1.1×Height of the rightmost ending above or below the baseline, in typical letter heights. Positive is above; negative is below.
The ending sits high above the writing line (+1.1 letter heights). The orange guide locates the finish relative to the red baseline.
Width / height
1.7 : 1Full ink width divided by full ink height, including the signature’s tall and low strokes.
The shape is 1.7 times as wide as it is high. Its ink spans 510 × 299 image pixels. Compare the horizontal spread with the vertical reach of the capitals and loops.
Ornamentation
5.9×Total traced stroke length divided by signature width. More turns and retraced shapes add length.
The traced strokes total 2,996 pixels, about 5.9 times the signature’s width. Look for loops, turns and flourishes that add movement within that width.
Angularity
2.5Number of corners per 100 pixels of traced ink outline. Higher values indicate more frequent sharp turns.
The outline contains about 2.5 corners per 100 pixels. Inspect the turns in the pen-path layer and compare pointed changes of direction with rounded curves.
Diego Maradona’s signature in graphology
In traditional graphology, combining an upper flourish, block-capital first name and numbered emblem reflects iconic self-identification, pride in craft and dramatic flair.
Follow the backward-leaning strokes in this image alongside the smaller body letters. For another perspective on handwriting, the handwriting analysis tool brings slant, size and spacing into a full-page reading.
The signature has a backward slant (−6°). The writing line falls (−10.3°). The opening stands 0.6 times as high as the following letters. The ending sits high above the writing line (+1.1 letter heights).
Slant
−6°A backward lean is traditionally read as reserve and reflection: taking a little distance before engaging.
Baseline
−10.3°A falling line is traditionally linked with reduced energy at the moment of signing.
Opening capital
0.6×The opening introduces the name; its shape and proportion set the first visual emphasis.
Underline / flourish
NoneWithout a separate lower underline, the signature places its emphasis in the letters themselves.
Finish height
+1.1×A high finish is traditionally read as ambition carried through to the end of the gesture.
Ornamentation
5.9×An elaborate stroke path is traditionally read as flair and expressive presentation.
