A Personality Upgrade for Your Electronic Signature: Introducing New Signature Styles

Your handwritten signature is more than just a mark; it's a personal statement. It reflects who you are, your unique journey, and the energy you bring to the world: the story of you.

Shouldn’t your electronic signature tell that same story?

It's been 25 years since the ESIGN Act established the legality of electronic signatures in the United States, revolutionizing how we sign the most important agreements in life and in business. 

To celebrate this milestone, we’re introducing six new signature styles in Docusign, giving you more options to express yourself with your electronic signature and add a personal touch to every document you sign. It’s a glow-up moment for your electronic signature!

In a recent survey*, we found that only 51% of Gen Z signs their name in cursive on paper (compared to 80% of Baby Boomers), and a quarter just print their name. Others rely on a quick scribble or jotting down initials. As cursive fades with each generation and important life moments increasingly take place digitally, digital signature styles are rapidly becoming a new form of self-expression.

The vision behind your new electronic signature

We were honored to collaborate with Libbie Bischoff of Type Du Nord and Lynne Yun of Space Type, two acclaimed typeface designers who understand the profound impact of fonts. 

When we talked to Libbie and Lynne about collaborating on these new signature styles, we agreed that fonts aren't just letters—they're emotions. 

"Digital signatures have served us incredibly well—they're secure, fast, and reliable. But we saw an opportunity to add another layer: personal expression,” said Lynne. “We wanted to create styles that capture the essence of who you are when you sign your name. Each typeface tells a different story." 

Libbie added, "There's something magical about the moment you sign your name. It's personal, it's powerful, and now it can reflect your personality even more. These styles amplify the human energy that's always been part of signing.”

Ready to meet your signature match? Here’s a preview of the new signature styles we're rolling out soon.

The Curator

Clean lines, clear intentions

Your home is a tiny museum of delight. Your wardrobe is 80% black with a pop of something playful. You make minimalism feel warm and inviting, and your signature is effortlessly chic.

The Letter Writer

Handwritten gifts and timeless gestures

You remember birthdays, keep photo albums, and believe meaningful gestures matter more than grand displays. Your signature carries old-soul wisdom with gentle, caring nature.

The Overachiever

Boardroom energy, corner office vibes

You color-code your calendar like it's an art form and somehow make "synergy" sound natural. Your signature is as polished as your LinkedIn headshot—strong, clear-cut, and unapologetically professional.

The Party Starter

Playful assertiveness tilted toward adventure

You're lively and always leaning into the next big thing—literally and figuratively. Your signature moves with dramatic flair because you've got places to be and people to impress.

The Renaissance Soul

Medieval romance meets modern mystery

You collect vintage books and speak at least three languages. Your signature commands attention with bold curves and sweeping gestures, equally at home on ancient manuscripts or enchanted scrolls.

The Vintage Enthusiast

Sixties charm meets handcrafted nostalgia

You know the difference between mid-century modern and mid-century authentic. Your signature has that perfectly imperfect charm—genuine, warm, and never trying too hard.

These new Signature Styles will be available in Docusign soon. Stay tuned!
