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 · finished on a long sail
A long-running and level hand. It runs 5.1 times wider than it is tall. It is also one of the few here that leaves on an exit stroke long enough to carry the eye off the page. The "y" in "Reynaldo" is the letter carrying it, because that is where your hand is already fastest.
Confident · flowing · signature-legible
the full name · underlined in one return stroke
An airy and dramatic hand. The letters are set well apart.
Commanding · sharp · signature-legible
the full name · underlined in one return stroke
A compact and dense hand. It stays 2.1 times wider than tall, where most signatures sprawl.
Confident · sharp · fully readable
the full name · underlined in one return stroke
A deliberate and compact hand. It is built in 16 separate strokes.
Understated · sharp · signature-legible
the full name · underlined in one return stroke
An unbroken and rounded hand. Only 7 pen lifts in the whole thing.
Commanding · flowing · fully readable
the full name · a capital that drops below the line · underlined in one return stroke
A grand and restrained hand. The capital stands 3.5 times the height of the letters after it. Almost nothing else here drops the R's tail below the line to weigh it down.
A signature is won or lost at its opening letter. For R, the studio draws from 2 constructions observed in professional hands, and every direction below chooses one and holds it.
After that, the lowercase run does the work: the l and d reach into the ascender line, which gives the mark its upper silhouette and the y drops below the baseline — a tail a designer can turn into an underline or let hang.
At 8 letters, Reynaldo is a long run for one gesture — which is why several directions below let the middle of the name relax while the capital and the ending stay sharp.
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.
