Tall slender loops above a long oval underline
Very tall thin strokes rise above the compact connected name. A long horizontal oval passes beneath it, crossing the lower parts of the larger uprights and continuing to the right. Compare the tall upper loop with that shallow lower return: their contrasting directions give the specimen a narrow but strongly layered silhouette.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening is lower than the typical letter body. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.10×, while the whole image is 0.93 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 5 enclosed loops and 1 main ink group. The lower flourish spans about 74% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
Neil Armstrong’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates tall loops and underlining with public emphasis. The large upright and lower oval repeat expressive gestures above and beneath a much smaller written centre.
