Six signature directions for Leticia

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

It gives itself room, and reads as unhurried because of it.

the full name · a capital on its own shelf · finished on a long sail

A level and upright hand. The capital is only 1.8 times the height of the letters after it. The "r" in "Worth" is the letter carrying it, because that is where your hand is already fastest.

Confident · flowing · signature-legible

Long and low, it takes the whole width of the line.

the full name · finished on a long sail

A dramatic and measured hand. The stroke swells and thins by a factor of 4.2.

Commanding · sharp · signature-legible

It leans into the page, the way a hand in a hurry does.

the full name · a capital on its own shelf · finished on a long sail

A generous and angular hand. It spends 27 loops getting through your name.

Confident · sharp · fully readable

One letter does the performing, and the others hold still for it.

the full name · a capital on its own shelf · finished on a long sail

A deliberate and generous hand. It is built in 14 separate strokes.

Understated · sharp · signature-legible

Written at speed, and it shows in the best way.

the full name · a capital on its own shelf · finished on a long sail

A spare and rounded hand. Only 11 loops in the whole mark.

Commanding · flowing · fully readable

The capital dominates, and the rest of the name follows quietly.

the full name · a capital on its own shelf · finished on a long sail

An angular and even hand. The turns are cut rather than curved.

What Leticia gives a designer

A signature is won or lost at its opening letter. For L, the studio draws from 2 constructions observed in professional hands, and every direction below chooses one and holds it.

The rest of the name sets the terrain: the t 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.

Leticia is 7 letters: room for a real rhythm without the fatigue of a long run.

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.
