Brigitte Bardot signature and handwriting analysis

Brigitte Bardot’s signature sample has 18° of forward slant, a near-level baseline and 7 enclosed loops. Comparing autograph strokes, baseline angle (−1.4°), slant (+18°), opening ratio (1.17×) and enclosed loops (7) reveals how individual signature traits contrast with standard handwriting features. Use the layers to follow the writing line, letter band, slant and enclosed loops.

Opening, letter body and finish

The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.17×, while the whole image is 4.55 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 7 enclosed loops and 6 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 66% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
