Narrow inclined words before a large terminal curve
Woodrow Wilson uses long thin inclined strokes through two recognizable name groups. Larger W openings lead into smaller connected forms, followed by a broad right-hand curve that descends below the band. Compare the narrow repeated upper strokes with that more open ending: the autograph changes from a compact linear rhythm to a spacious final gesture.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.75×, while the whole image is 2.23 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes below 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 3 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
Woodrow Wilson’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates forward inclination with outward expression. The repeated capital openings add public emphasis, while the broad terminal curve gives the slender connected name a more expressive finish.
