Signature Analysis: What Your Signature Says About You

Your signature is your public face on paper. Graphology reads it for confidence, drive and privacy. The signs below are easy to spot in your own writing.

Baseline

A rising baseline shows optimism and ambition. A falling baseline shows tiredness or low mood. A steady baseline shows balance and self-control.

Slant

A right slant shows warmth and a social nature. A left slant shows caution and a guarded mind. An upright slant shows a practical head over the heart.

Pressure and size

Heavy pressure shows strong feeling and stamina. Light pressure shows sensitivity and flexible energy. A large signature asks for attention. A small signature prefers quiet work.

Underlines and full stops

A single firm underline shows self-belief. Many underlines can show a need for approval. A full stop after the signature suggests a closed, careful nature.

Name dominance

A clear first name shows a personal, informal identity. A clear surname shows pride in family or status. A struck-out name often shows self-doubt. Keep your signature readable and consistent.
