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 S
Understated · flowing · fully readable
Compact, with its weight gathered in one place.
a capital thrown inside a loop · finished on a long sail
A generous and airy hand. It spends 24 loops getting through your name. The double "n" in "Savannah" goes down as one motion, so the middle of the name never stops.
Confident · flowing · signature-legible
It turns corners instead of rounding them, and that is the whole temperament.
finished on a long sail
An urgent and long-running hand. It leans 37 degrees off vertical.
Commanding · sharp · signature-legible
Pressure where it presses, hairline where it lifts.
a capital thrown inside a loop · finished on a long sail
A grand and airy hand. The capital stands 3.5 times the height of the letters after it.
Confident · sharp · fully readable
Tightly massed, so it holds together small.
a capital thrown inside a loop · closed with a small loop
A measured and generous hand. The pen keeps one pace instead of accelerating through. It is also one of the few here that ties off with a small loop instead of flying away.
Understated · sharp · signature-legible
The capital keeps its place, which puts the emphasis on the whole name.
a capital thrown inside a loop · finished on a long sail
An unbroken and theatrical hand. Only 5 pen lifts in the whole thing.
Commanding · flowing · fully readable
Measured rather than dashed off, and the steadier for it.
a capital thrown inside a loop · finished on a long sail
A deliberate and grand hand. It is built in 9 separate strokes.
What Savannah gives a designer
Everything starts with the S. 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 that, the lowercase run does the work: the h reaches into the ascender line, which gives the mark its upper silhouette and the double n is a rhythm no other letter pair gives — two identical strokes that must agree.
At 8 letters, Savannah 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.
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.
