Opening, letter body and finish

The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.71×, while the whole image is 4.68 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 8 enclosed loops and 3 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.

Ronald Reagan’s signature in graphology
