An open G and narrow marks above a short underline
A broad fine G opens a shallow row of abbreviated name forms. Narrow upper loops and pointed strokes alternate across the centre, followed by a long near-horizontal finish at the right. A shorter underline sits separately below; compare its extent with the much longer upper ending to follow the two different lower and sideward gestures.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.89×, while the whole image is 5.01 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 4 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
Gabriel García Márquez’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates an open enlarged initial with public presentation. The short underline adds emphasis beneath the compressed name, while the long economical finish extends its directional movement toward the right.
