What does Basshunter’s signature look like?

Broad dark BH-like forms overlap at the left and center. Two long near-horizontal bars cross the taller right-hand uprights, while a wide lower oval returns beneath the opening. Compare the rounded left enclosure with the straighter crossing strokes: this abbreviated autograph gains its outline from a few large gestures rather than small body letters.

Opening, letter body and finish

The opening is lower than the typical letter body. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.80×, while the whole image is 1.71 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes above the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.

Loops and the lower flourish

The sample contains 0 enclosed loops and 3 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 31% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
