Overlapping loops obscure the small letter band

Large vertical and horizontal loops overlap through the centre of this autograph. Smaller name forms sit within those crossings, and a long returning loop falls below the right side. Trace the broadest curves individually before looking for letters: several strokes share the same central area, making the outer outline clearer than the compressed writing inside it.

Opening, letter body and finish

The opening is lower than the typical letter body. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.67×, while the whole image is 1.78 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 7 enclosed loops and 2 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.

Jk Rowling’s signature in graphology
