A long narrow name with an enlarged upper opening
A large returning K rises above a long line of tightly written name forms. Several crossbars and tall strokes interrupt the low body band, with higher uprights gathering toward the right. Compare the expansive upper-left return with the much smaller connecting letters: the signature’s length comes from the full name, while its strongest flourish remains near the opening.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening is lower than the typical letter body. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.79×, while the whole image is 3.82 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 7 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
Katharine Hepburn’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates an enlarged initial with public emphasis. The fine connected continuation gives this long specimen a flowing rhythm, punctuated by taller strokes rather than a broad enclosing underline.
