How to sign Lincoln: tips from its letters
What to do with each part of Lincoln, from the first capital to the last stroke.
The capital L. L is a tall loop at the top, a stem, and a small loop at the bottom that runs along the baseline. Stretch that bottom stroke and let it carry on into the i, or right under the whole name as an underline. Few capitals give such an easy built-in flourish.
The o in Lincoln. 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: l. The l is the one small letter in Lincoln 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 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.
Rows of humps: i and n. Letters made of the same small arches merge into a wavy line in a quick signature. That is normal: keep the first and last letters clear and let the middle relax.
The final n. Lincoln ends on an arch. Let the last downstroke trail off to the right; it naturally becomes a quick flourish.
7 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.
