Tall peaks and loops around a low letter band
The upper strokes make this autograph unusually tall in relation to its low band of joined forms. Follow the narrow peaks and then the loops that return below the writing band. Those changes of height are more distinctive here than a long horizontal underline.

Opening, letter body and finish
The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 2.13×, while the whole image is 1.02 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 7 enclosed loops and 1 main ink group. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
