Small cursive forms punctuated by taller strokes
The narrow, finely drawn forms reward a closer look. Follow the dots and taller strokes along the low letter band, then compare their spacing with the separate word at the right. The specimen’s visual rhythm comes from these small changes rather than a heavy lower flourish.

Opening, letter body and finish
The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 2.42×, while the whole image is 9.63 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 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.
Marie Curie’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates forward slant with responsiveness and outward expression. An enlarged opening capital is read as emphasis on the public self. Economical strokes are traditionally read as directness.
Follow the forward-leaning strokes in this image alongside the enlarged opening. For another perspective on your own writing, the handwriting analysis tool brings slant, size and spacing into a full-page reading.
