The compact name is framed by long diagonal strokes. Most of the visual length comes from the extended sweep and upper-right finish rather than from fully written letterforms.

A compact autograph with long diagonal strokes

The large diagonal gestures occupy more of the image than the smaller marks between them. Follow the autograph as a sequence of strokes rather than expecting every letter to be written out. The tall finish is especially useful for recognizing this specimen’s overall shape.

Opening, letter body and finish

The opening is lower than the typical letter body. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.46×, while the whole image is 1.32 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes below 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 3 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
