Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.93×, while the whole image is 1.73 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink ends near the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.
Loops and the lower flourish
The sample contains 6 enclosed loops and 2 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
