Professional, sophisticated, sporty handwritten font for signature/autograph

jjdewtt

I am looking for a handwritten font to use for my own personal signature/autograph. Can anyone offer suggestions for a font that can serve this purpose that is professional and sophisticated yet sporty and casual? Something a bit flowy, flourishy and calligraphic but not too much.

Olicana Rough is almost perfect.

Emily Austin is great but I'd like something more modern.

Caliban is close but I'm looking for something with a bit more personality.

I personally love Olicana Rough. I'm using it for a project right now and it's working out great.

I love the ink spots.

I dont get it, cant you just digitze your own signature? Seems more realistic and personal. . . surely you can make it look good unless you have some rotten name?

Thanks Mica, got any pdf's you could show me? I've not seen it in use yet.

I don't quite get it either. If it's for your signature, why aren't you using your signature?

I understand your responses. Honestly, I'm really struggling with creating an appealing signature worthy of inclusion on my product. At a minimum, I'd like to have a nice font to use as a guide to generate my own personal signature. I thought I'd start by seeing what kind of style I like and then create my own style.

Thanks for any suggestions!
