How to sign Avery: tips from its letters
What to do with each part of Avery, from the first capital to the last stroke.
The capital A. In cursive, A is a closed oval with a stem on its right, like a large a; in a signature many people write the printed peak instead and let the crossbar run on into the v. Either way, make it taller than the rest of Avery: a tall, slightly leaning A gives the whole name a strong start.
The v in Avery. v ends high, with a small curl at the top, so the letter after it starts from the top rather than the baseline. Keep that join short and level, or the v and the next letter blur into a w.
The r in Avery. Cursive r has a small shoulder that juts out to the right before it comes down. Keep the shoulder visible; flattened, the r reads as an i or a bump. Many people use the printed r in a signature to keep it clear.
A calm outline. Apart from the capital, every letter of Avery stays between the lines, with nothing rising above or dropping below. That makes a smooth, even signature; give it character with a tall capital A or a long underline.
The final y. Avery ends with a letter that drops below the line. Let its tail swing back to the left under the name: the classic underline, made without lifting the pen.
5 letters. A name of this length can be written in full and still look fast. Keep the letters joined and let them shrink a little towards the end, the way real signatures do.
