Upright and composed, it never looks rushed.

Six signature directions for Tomas
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.
Confident · flowing · signature-legible
Long and low, it takes the whole width of the line.
the full name · a swept capital · underlined in one return stroke
An unbroken and measured hand. Only 7 pen lifts in the whole thing. It is the rare one that runs a long swept approach into the T. The "m" in "Tomas" is the letter carrying it, because that is where your hand is already fastest.
Commanding · sharp · signature-legible
One letter does the performing, and the others hold still for it.
the full name · a capital on its own shelf · finished on a long sail
A grand and airy hand. The capital stands 2.7 times the height of the letters after it.
Confident · sharp · fully readable
One weight the whole way through, which is what makes it read as modern.
the full name · a capital on its own shelf · finished on a long sail
A quick and upright hand. The line carries the momentum of a hand that never slowed down.
Understated · sharp · signature-legible
It leans into the page, the way a hand in a hurry does.
the full name · a capital that drops below the line · finished on a long sail
A measured and angular hand. The pen keeps one pace instead of accelerating through. It is the rare one that drops the T's tail below the line to weigh it down.
Commanding · flowing · fully readable
Pressure where it presses, hairline where it lifts.
the full name · a capital on its own shelf · finished on a long sail
A rounded and deliberate hand. Every turn is rounded off.
What Tomas gives a designer
Everything starts with the T. 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, Tomas 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.
5 letters is the length most signatures are built on — enough travel for character, little enough to repeat exactly.
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.
