Six signature directions for Leanne
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.
Drawn from the name · 6 directions · capital L · hover one to see it in use
Understated · flowing · fully readable
Upright and composed, it never looks rushed.
the full name · a swept capital · underlined in one return stroke
A level and measured hand. The capital is only 1.7 times the height of the letters after it. It is also one of the few here that runs a long swept approach into the L. The double "n" in "Leanne" goes down as one motion, so the middle of the name never stops.
Confident · flowing · signature-legible
Compact, with its weight gathered in one place.
the full name · a capital on its own shelf · finished on a long sail
A dense and unbroken hand. The letters are packed close together. The "r" in "Worth" is the letter carrying it, because that is where your hand is already fastest.
Commanding · sharp · signature-legible
The capital dominates, and the rest of the name follows quietly.
the full name · a capital on its own shelf · closed with a small loop
A quick and theatrical hand. The line carries the momentum of a hand that never slowed down. Almost nothing else here ties off with a small loop instead of flying away.
Confident · sharp · fully readable
Generous with its loops, and unembarrassed about it.
the full name · a swept capital · finished on a long sail
A dramatic and rounded hand. The stroke swells and thins by a factor of 4.1. It is also one of the few here that runs a long swept approach into the L.
Understated · sharp · signature-legible
It leans into the page, the way a hand in a hurry does.
the full name · underlined in one return stroke
A level and unbroken hand. The capital is only 1.6 times the height of the letters after it. It is the rare one that lays a line back underneath the name.
Commanding · flowing · fully readable
No letter shouts over another, which is rarer than it sounds.
the full name · a capital on its own shelf · finished on a long sail
A quick and angular hand. The line carries the momentum of a hand that never slowed down.
What Leanne gives a designer
The capital L carries the mark. There are 2 distinct professional constructions of it on the studio's shelf, and which one a design commits to changes the whole gesture.
After that, the lowercase run does the work: the double n is a rhythm no other letter pair gives — two identical strokes that must agree.
At 6 letters, Leanne 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.
