Signature fonts imitate a quick handwritten autograph: fast, slanted strokes, long connecting lines, loose loops and letters that vary in height. They are designed to look written with a pen or fine marker rather than carefully lettered. Designers use them for the personal logos of photographers and makeup artists, email sign-offs, fashion and beauty branding, product labels, invitations and social media watermarks. Popular examples include Signature, Arty Signature, Brittany Signature, Photograph Signature, Dynalight and Herr Von Muellerhoff. A signature font works best for one or two words at a large size. Remember that a typed name in a signature style is a design element, not a legally valid signature for contracts.
