A broad opening oval before rising narrow peaks

A broad oval opening sits at the left of this abbreviated mark. Long diagonals cross through the centre and lead into a rising row of smaller narrow peaks toward the right. Compare the opening’s spacious enclosed area with the tightly repeated ending forms: the autograph changes from a rounded frame to a much sharper continuation.

Opening, letter body and finish

The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.96×, while the whole image is 3.68 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 6 enclosed loops and 2 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 22% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.

Vladimir Putin’s signature in graphology

Traditional graphology associates broad opening loops with public emphasis and angular continuation with determination. The change from an oval opening to narrow rising peaks gives this abbreviated mark a contrasting rhythm.
