A detached opening mark beside a pointed Hegel

A dark detached opening sits at the left of this abbreviated specimen. The Hegel group follows after a clear gap, with a taller looping H, small pointed letters and a rising ending. Compare the separate initial with the more continuous surname: the autograph combines a compact opening abbreviation and a distinctly emphasized later word.

Opening, letter body and finish

The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 2.46×, while the whole image is 4.94 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 3 enclosed loops and 4 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s signature in graphology
