Six signature directions for Simone
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 · hover one to see it in use
Understated · flowing · fully readable
No letter shouts over another, which is rarer than it sounds.
the full name · underlined in one return stroke
A dramatic and level hand. The stroke swells and thins by a factor of 3.2. It is also one of the few here that lays a line back underneath the name. The "m" in "Simone" 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 · a swept capital · finished on a long sail
An urgent and unbroken hand. It leans 27 degrees off vertical.
Commanding · sharp · signature-legible
The capital dominates, and the rest of the name follows quietly.
the full name · a swept capital · underlined in one return stroke
A spare and airy hand. Only 5 loops in the whole mark. Almost nothing else here lays a line back underneath the name.
Confident · sharp · fully readable
Written at speed, and it shows in the best way.
the full name · a swept capital · finished on a long sail
A theatrical and rounded hand. One letter is pushed well past the proportions of its neighbors.
Understated · sharp · signature-legible
Pressure where it presses, hairline where it lifts.
the full name · a swept capital · finished on a long sail
A long-running and unbroken hand. It runs 5.3 times wider than it is tall.
Commanding · flowing · fully readable
Generous with its loops, and unembarrassed about it.
the full name · a swept capital · finished on a long sail
A dense and angular hand. The letters are packed close together.
What Simone gives a designer
The capital S 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 dotted i leaves a mark above the line that a fast hand turns into a flick.
Simone is 6 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.
