Are these legal signatures?

No. They are design ideas for a handwritten signature, not a signed form.

What are the three styles?

Clean is an upright signature with joined, easy-to-read letters. Flowing has a large looped capital, a long tail and a sweeping underline. Minimal is a few quick strokes.

How do I practice one?

The practice rows show the signature once in dark ink at the top, then repeated in light ink below it.

Can I get my own name?

Yes. Ask for a short name, initials only or a dash, and the comparison is set for that.

A signature idea is the same name signed several ways, so you can pick one and practice it. The nine sheets show Anna Patel signed six ways, the initials J.R. in four styles, and David Moreau repeated in light ink on lined rows. Each comes as a clean upright hand, a flowing hand with a looped capital, or a minimal few-stroke form. Ask for a short name, initials only or a dash.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
