Initial signatures

Five ways to sign with initials — short, fast and hard to copy badly.

Two-letter initial signatures

First initial, last initial: the shortest mark that still says who signed.

A middle initial adds separation when your first and last names are common ones.

Letters that share a stroke become one shape instead of three.

One initial and a full surname: informal at the start, formal where it matters.

Thin strokes, a long entry line and plenty of space around the letters.

A short mark written with enough pressure and weight to feel deliberate rather than rushed.
