How to sign Axel: tips from its letters
What to do with each part of Axel, 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 x. Either way, make it taller than the rest of Axel: a tall, slightly leaning A gives the whole name a strong start.
The x in Axel. Write x as two strokes: a curve like a small reversed c, then a crossing line. In a fast signature the crossing is often left out; keep it, because an x without it reads as an n.
The e in Axel. A lowercase e is a small loop. Keep the loop open: in a quick signature e tends to close into a dash, which is fine at the end of a name but makes the middle hard to read.
A tall letter: l. The l is the one small letter in Axel that rises above the others, so it sets the rhythm: give it a clear loop on the same slant as the capital, about the capital’s height, and the name looks steady even when it is fast.
The final l. Axel ends on a tall letter. Finish with a firm upstroke and stop, or let the last stroke rise and fall away to the right as a quick tail.
A short name: 4 letters. Short names have room for one bold gesture: a big capital, a long underline or a loop. Sign it large; a short signature written small looks like initials.
