A small central name inside an extended oval frame
A fine name group occupies the centre of a much wider autograph. Long upper and lower lines return in broad flattened loops around it, while a taller opening stroke rises through the left-middle region. Compare the compact readable centre with the spacious frame: the surrounding gestures account for most of the full image’s horizontal extent.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening is lower than the typical letter body. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.68×, while the whole image is 2.80 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 4 enclosed loops and 3 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 70% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
François Hollande’s signature in graphology
