A descending opening beside a compact surname
The opening’s long downward loop creates much of the specimen’s lower reach. The forms after it are smaller and more closely grouped. Compare the opening against the heavier surname strokes to see how different parts of the sample contribute to its uneven outline.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.82×, while the whole image is 3.18 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 2 enclosed loops and 7 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
