Six signature directions for Felix
Each one is a genuine drawing of the name — not a font — made by the same studio that draws the paid commission, with the design decisions stated under it.
Confident · flowing · signature-legible
Pressure where it presses, hairline where it lifts.
closed with a small loop
An unbroken and rounded hand. Only 3 pen lifts in the whole thing. It is the rare one that ties off with a small loop instead of flying away.
Commanding · sharp · signature-legible
One weight the whole way through, which is what makes it read as modern.
a capital thrown inside a loop · finished on a long sail
An urgent and grand hand. It leans 28 degrees off vertical. Almost nothing else here throws a flat loop right around the F.
Confident · sharp · fully readable
Generous with its loops, and unembarrassed about it.
a capital on its own shelf · finished on a long sail
A compact and theatrical hand. It stays 0.8 times wider than tall, where most signatures sprawl. It is also one of the few here that stands the name on the F's own foot.
Understated · sharp · signature-legible
One letter does the performing, and the others hold still for it.
a capital that drops below the line
An urgent and unbroken hand. It leans 29 degrees off vertical. It is the rare one that adds no closing gesture at all.
Commanding · flowing · fully readable
Written at speed, and it shows in the best way.
a capital that drops below the line · finished on a long sail
A grand and deliberate hand. The capital stands 2.9 times the height of the letters after it.
What Felix gives a designer
Everything starts with the F. The studio holds 1 distinct construction of that capital — drawn from how professionals actually open a name — and each direction below commits to one of them.
After that, the lowercase run does the work: the l reaches into the ascender line, which gives the mark its upper silhouette and the dotted i leaves a mark above the line that a fast hand turns into a flick.
At 5 letters, Felix sits in the comfortable middle — long enough to build rhythm, short enough to stay one uninterrupted gesture.
Making it yours
These studies are drawn on the first name alone, because that is how the question is usually asked — but a working signature is built on your full name: the second capital, the balance between the two words, and the short everyday version are where the real design decisions live.
The studio draws twenty directions for your full name in about a minute, and the kit — the files, the report that explains the design, and the stroke-order lesson — is what the three you choose become.
