✅ Autograph Analysis — Emily Willis (Signature Only)
Ink Type & Application

The signature appears to be in white paint marker.

Paint-pen ink leaves a slightly raised texture with visible stroke direction and light reflection.

The edges of each stroke show natural paint distribution — confirming hand-applied ink, not a printed overlay.

Stroke & Flow Characteristics

Smooth, confident stroke flow with no hesitation or stop-marks.

Natural pressure variation:

Heavier downstrokes

Lighter, tapered upstrokes

Paint buildup at the start and end of strokes is consistent with real marker motion.

Letter Structure (Matches Known Examples)

Typical characteristics of authentic Emily Willis signatures:
✔ Rounded, open lowercase “e”
✔ Flowing cursive transition through mily
✔ Lowercase “w” written with wide loops
✔ Finishing tail on the “s” that rises slightly upward

This cropped signature matches those traits strongly.

The added “xoxo” at the top:

Uses the same pen pressure and ink behavior
