Two compressed groups above a rising lower stroke
Dark abbreviated name forms occupy a shallow band. A taller opening introduces the second group, and a long diagonal lower stroke runs beneath the later writing before extending rightward. Compare that straight rising base with the compact upper forms: the finish stretches substantially beyond the small written centre.

Opening, letter body and finish
The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 3.15×, while the whole image is 8.44 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 7 enclosed loops and 3 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
Simone de Beauvoir’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology reads an underline as public emphasis. The rising lower stroke makes that gesture directional here, contrasting with the more economical abbreviated forms above it.
