How to sign Josiah: tips from its letters
What to do with each part of Josiah, 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 Josiah: keep it generous.
The s in Josiah. Cursive s rises to a sharp point and closes at the bottom. It is small and easily lost in a fast signature; a clear point at the top keeps it readable.
The o in Josiah. 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.
A tall letter: h. The h is the one small letter in Josiah 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.
Below the line: j. The j drops below the baseline in the middle of Josiah and gives the signature depth. Make its loop a little longer than in your everyday writing, and close it before you carry on.
The dot on i. Most quick signatures leave it out. If you keep it, add it after you finish the name, a little to the right, as a fast tick or a small circle. That last dot is a classic finishing touch.
The final h. Josiah 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.
6 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.
