Kendrick Lamar signature
A tall opening stroke meets a thick diagonal crossing near the left side.
What does Kendrick Lamar’s signature look like?
A tall opening stroke meets a thick diagonal crossing near the left side. The next movement rises into a pointed upper loop, then falls sharply into a broad low curve that extends across the right. The autograph is compact and highly abbreviated, with few conventional letter divisions to follow. Trace the pointed junctions first, then compare them with the smoother ending; this change from sharp turns to a long curve defines the sample's outline.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.32×, while the whole image is 1.68 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 1 main ink group. The lower flourish spans about 58% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
All 11 measured signature features
Slant
+39°Angle of the letter strokes from vertical. Positive angles lean right; negative angles lean left.
The signature has a forward slant (+39°). The blue-green guides show the lean of strokes across the name.
Baseline
+9.9°Direction of the writing line from the beginning to the end of the signature.
The writing line rises (+9.9°). The red guide follows the base of the letters, separate from lower loops and flourishes.
Opening capital
1.3×Height of the opening letter relative to the typical letters that follow. 1× means similar heights.
The opening stands 1.3 times as high as the following letters. The purple box marks its area; the dashed blue guide marks the letter-body band.
Enclosed loops
0Closed spaces surrounded by ink, counted across the whole signature.
No enclosed loops are detected. Compare the open curves and joined strokes in the sample.
Ink groups
1Separate connected areas of ink in the image. Dots or detached letters can form additional groups.
The signature contains 1 main ink group. Most of the visible ink joins into one connected shape. Look at where those shapes join or separate.
Ink density
16%Share of the signature’s enclosing rectangle occupied by ink.
Ink covers 16% of the measured signature area; the rest is open space. Compare the open areas with the thickness of the visible strokes.
Underline / flourish
58% wideLength of a lower underline or flourish compared with the full signature width.
A lower underline or flourish spans about 58% of the name’s width. Its highlighted area shows how much emphasis sits beneath the letters.
Finish height
+0.1×Height of the rightmost ending above or below the baseline, in typical letter heights. Positive is above; negative is below.
The ending sits close to the writing line (+0.1 letter heights). The orange guide locates the finish relative to the red baseline.
Width / height
1.7 : 1Full ink width divided by full ink height, including the signature’s tall and low strokes.
The shape is 1.7 times as wide as it is high. Its ink spans 513 × 305 image pixels. Compare the horizontal spread with the vertical reach of the capitals and loops.
Ornamentation
2.8×Total traced stroke length divided by signature width. More turns and retraced shapes add length.
The traced strokes total 1,447 pixels, about 2.8 times the signature’s width. Look for loops, turns and flourishes that add movement within that width.
Angularity
1.4Number of corners per 100 pixels of traced ink outline. Higher values indicate more frequent sharp turns.
The outline contains about 1.4 corners per 100 pixels. Inspect the turns in the pen-path layer and compare pointed changes of direction with rounded curves.
