A sweeping P surrounding large rounded later forms
A broad P sweeps across the upper part of this single-name autograph. Large rounded later forms continue beneath it, with a descending opening stroke at the left and a detached accent near the right. Compare the upper sweep with the lower ovals: both are spacious, so the mark’s visual emphasis extends across most of the name.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.95×, while the whole image is 1.63 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 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.
Pelé’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates broad rounded gestures with expressiveness. The expansive P and later ovals give the single name a conspicuous public outline, with the detached accent adding a smaller upper punctuation.
