Tall narrow loops above a small connected name
A thin opening loop rises above the first word, while a second tall oval interrupts the middle of the autograph. The later name forms become smaller and more angular. At the right, a broad finishing arc turns downward; following that arc separately helps distinguish the long final gesture from the narrow loops within the words.

Opening, letter body and finish
The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 2.16×, while the whole image is 4.32 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 3 enclosed loops and 4 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
Paul McCartney’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates tall loops with expressive emphasis. In this specimen the slender upper forms repeat that emphasis, and the broader final arc adds a different, more spacious closing movement.
