A large arching S over a low surname band
An expansive S-like opening rises in a broad arc above the left and middle. Smaller connected Schiller forms remain low beneath it, with a slender curled ending at the right. Compare that enlarged first gesture with the restrained body letters: the specimen’s main upper height comes from the opening rather than uniformly tall writing.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening is lower than the typical letter body. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.58×, while the whole image is 2.49 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 8 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
Friedrich Schiller’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates an enlarged opening with public emphasis. The broad upper arc supplies an expressive frame, followed by a more economical low surname and lightly curved finish.
