How to sign Jonathan: tips from its letters
What to do with each part of Jonathan, from the first capital to the last stroke.
The capital J. J is the one capital that goes far below the line. Start high, come down past the baseline into a loop, and bring the loop back up across the stem to lead into the o. That loop is the natural flourish of Jonathan: keep it generous.
The o in Jonathan. o closes at the top and leaves from there, so the next letter starts from a high join. Keep the o round and closed, or it reads as a u or a v.
Tall letters: t and h. Jonathan has 2 letters that rise above the others. They are the skyline of your signature: keep their loops on the same slant and about the same height, and the name looks steady even when it is fast.
Below the line: j. The j drops below the baseline in the middle of Jonathan and gives the signature depth. Make its loop a little longer than in your everyday writing, and close it before you carry on.
The crossed t. Cross the t last, after the rest of the name, and let the bar run long: it can cover the letters after it and doubles as a flourish.
The final n. Jonathan ends on an arch. Let the last downstroke trail off to the right; it naturally becomes a quick flourish.
A long name: 8 letters. Sign the beginning clearly and let the rest compress into a quick, flowing line; nobody reads every letter of a long signature. A narrow, fast style suits it better than a wide, ornate one.

Use your full name, or initial and last name, on contracts and official forms, and keep it the same every time. Initials like JR are for initialling pages, not for signing. A first name alone is fine for cards and letters.
