How to sign Ruby: tips from its letters

What to do with each part of Ruby, from the first capital to the last stroke.

The capital R. Write the stem, the bowl and the leg in one movement, letting the leg kick out along the baseline into the u. A long, sweeping leg is the classic R flourish; a short one looks tidier.
The b in Ruby. b has a tall loop and ends with a small curl at the top of its bowl, so the next letter has to start from that height. That high join is where signatures often lose their shape: make it on purpose.
A tall letter: b. The b is the one small letter in Ruby 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 y. Ruby ends with a letter that drops below the line. Let its tail swing back to the left under the name: the classic underline, made without lifting the pen.
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.
