Signature ideas
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.
Understated · flowing · fully readable
the full name · a swept capital
A dramatic and restrained hand. The stroke swells and thins by a factor of 3.6. It is also one of the few here that runs a long swept approach into the R.
Confident · flowing · signature-legible
the full name · finished on a long sail
An angular and spare hand. The turns are cut rather than curved. It is the rare one that hangs the name off the R as a stem. The "g" in "Regina" is the letter carrying it, because that is where your hand is already fastest.
Commanding · sharp · signature-legible
the full name · a swept capital · finished on a long sail
A long-running and urgent hand. It runs 5.0 times wider than it is tall. Almost nothing else here runs a long swept approach into the R.
Confident · sharp · fully readable
the full name · underlined in one return stroke
A deliberate and generous hand. It is built in 14 separate strokes. It is also one of the few here that hangs the name off the R as a stem.
Understated · sharp · signature-legible
the full name · underlined in one return stroke
A long-running and spare hand. It runs 4.8 times wider than it is tall.
Commanding · flowing · fully readable
the full name · underlined in one return stroke
An even and restrained hand. It holds one weight almost the whole way through.
The capital R 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.
The rest of the name sets the terrain: the g drops below the baseline — a tail a designer can turn into an underline or let hang and the dotted i leaves a mark above the line that a fast hand turns into a flick.
6 letters is the length most signatures are built on — enough travel for character, little enough to repeat exactly.
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.
