Readable blue cursive with a returning surname loop

Elvis Presley appears in two small, recognizable blue cursive words. Taller looped strokes punctuate the otherwise low band of connected letters. The surname’s final return makes a narrow oval beneath the later letters; compare that restrained lower flourish with the larger opening capitals to see how the name stays readable despite its loops.

Opening, letter body and finish

The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.29×, while the whole image is 3.72 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 4 enclosed loops and 4 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 26% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
