Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.21×, while the whole image is 4.41 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 2 enclosed loops and 6 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
Victor Hugo’s signature in graphology
