What does Xi Jinping’s signature look like?

Dark Chinese character strokes overlap through a compact central area. A broader diagonal sweeps across the left, while a taller curved upright and shorter cross-strokes define the right side. Compare the spacious first gesture with the denser central crossings: the specimen is organized by character shapes rather than Latin capital and lowercase forms.

Xi Jinping signature and handwriting analysis

Xi Jinping’s signature sample has an almost upright slant, a falling baseline and 2 enclosed loops. Comparing autograph strokes, baseline angle (−8.7°), slant (+4°), opening ratio (0.95×) and enclosed loops (2) 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 0.95×, while the whole image is 1.39 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 2 enclosed loops and 4 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 33% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.

Height of the opening letter relative to the typical letters that follow. 1× means similar heights.

The opening stands 0.9 times as high as the following letters. The purple box marks its area; the dashed blue guide marks the letter-body band.

Enclosed loops

2 enclosed loops highlighted in the measured signature2 enclosed spaces

Closed spaces surrounded by ink, counted across the whole signature.

There are 2 enclosed loops in the sample. Orange outlines locate them. Compare their size and placement within the name.

Ink groups

4
4 connected ink groups; each circle represents one groupeach circle = one ink group4 groups in the sample

Separate connected areas of ink in the image. Dots or detached letters can form additional groups.

The signature contains 4 main ink groups. The visible ink is divided into separate shapes. Look at where those shapes join or separate.

Ink density

Share of the signature’s enclosing rectangle occupied by ink.

Ink covers 33% of the measured signature area; the rest is open space. Compare the open areas with the thickness of the visible strokes.

Underline / flourish

Length of a lower underline or flourish compared with the full signature width.

A lower underline or flourish spans about 33% of the name’s width. Its highlighted area shows how much emphasis sits beneath the letters.

Finish height

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 (+0.5 letter heights). The orange guide locates the finish relative to the red baseline.

Width / height

1.4 : 1
Signature ink width 422 pixels and height 304 pixels422 px wide × 304 px high

Full ink width divided by full ink height, including the signature’s tall and low strokes.

The shape is 1.4 times as wide as it is high. Its ink spans 422 × 304 image pixels. Compare the horizontal spread with the vertical reach of the capitals and loops.

Total traced stroke length divided by signature width. More turns and retraced shapes add length.

The traced strokes total 2,004 pixels, about 4.7 times the signature’s width. Look for loops, turns and flourishes that add movement within that width.

Angularity

Number of corners per 100 pixels of traced ink outline. Higher values indicate more frequent sharp turns.

The outline contains about 3.3 corners per 100 pixels. Inspect the turns in the pen-path layer and compare pointed changes of direction with rounded curves.
