Bengali forms with broad opening and ending loops

The Bengali name uses closely connected pointed and rounded gestures. A large upper-left loop opens the mark, while an expansive ending curve sweeps above the right side and returns into a small lower curl. Compare the detailed central forms with those spacious outer returns: the opening and finish frame a much more compact written band.

Opening, letter body and finish

The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 2.20×, while the whole image is 3.76 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 10 enclosed loops and 5 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.

Rabindranath Tagore’s signature in graphology

Traditional graphology associates framing loops with expressive public emphasis. Latin capital-size language fits this Bengali specimen only loosely; its clearest gestures are the broad outer returns and smaller connected centre.

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.
