Signature ideas
Six signature directions for Lorena
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 turns corners instead of rounding them, and that is the whole temperament.
the full name · a capital on its own shelf
A restrained and deliberate hand. No single letter is pushed past its neighbors. It is also one of the few here that adds no closing gesture at all. The "r" in "Lorena" is the letter carrying it, because that is where your hand is already fastest.
Confident · flowing · signature-legible
Pressure where it presses, hairline where it lifts.
the full name · a capital on its own shelf · finished on a long sail
A compact and unbroken hand. It stays 1.9 times wider than tall, where most signatures sprawl. It is the rare one that leaves on an exit stroke long enough to carry the eye off the page.
Commanding · sharp · signature-legible
It gives itself room, and reads as unhurried because of it.
the full name · a capital on its own shelf · closed with a small loop
A grand and unbroken hand. The capital stands 3.5 times the height of the letters after it.
Confident · sharp · fully readable
Upright and composed, it never looks rushed.
the full name · a capital on its own shelf · closed with a small loop
A theatrical and dense hand. One letter is pushed well past the proportions of its neighbors.
Understated · sharp · signature-legible
Measured rather than dashed off, and the steadier for it.
the full name · a capital that drops below the line · finished on a long sail
A long-running and spare hand. It runs 3.8 times wider than it is tall. It is the rare one that drops the L's tail below the line to weigh it down.
Commanding · flowing · fully readable
Generous with its loops, and unembarrassed about it.
the full name · closed with a small loop
A quick and long-running hand. The line carries the momentum of a hand that never slowed down.
What Lorena gives a designer
Everything starts with the L. The studio holds 2 distinct constructions of that capital — drawn from how professionals actually open a name — and each direction below commits to one of them.
After the capital, Lorena runs entirely at x-height — no ascenders, no tails — so the whole middle of the mark is a single calm band, and the capital and the closing gesture do all the talking.
At 6 letters, Lorena 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.
