A long readable name with broad capital openings
Theodore Roosevelt runs across a fine connected writing band. Broad T and R openings rise above smaller rounded forms, with a taller final stroke and near-level rightward finish. Compare the two name beginnings with the low continuation: the full written name supplies most of the breadth without a separate decorative frame beneath it.

Opening, letter body and finish
The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 3.66×, while the whole image is 11.17 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.
