How to sign Katherine: tips from its letters
What to do with each part of Katherine, from the first capital to the last stroke.
The capital K. Write the stem first, lift, then the two arms in one stroke: a curve in towards the stem and a kick out to the right. The kick is the easiest place to join the a. A K with a long, low kick looks fast and practised.
The r in Katherine. 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.
The e in Katherine. 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.
Tall letters: t and h. Katherine 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.
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 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 e. Katherine ends on a round letter. Its exit stroke can stretch out along the baseline and turn into an underline or a short wave.
A long name: 9 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.
