Abbreviated groups with a descending G loop
A loose G opening drops into a long lower loop. A more open B introduces the second compact group, which ends in a broad oval and rightward line. Compare the two beginnings and the ending return: this abbreviated autograph uses a small central name band inside gestures that reach farther above, below and to the right.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.44×, while the whole image is 2.17 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 3 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
George W. Bush’s signature in graphology
