Hand D is associated with Shakespeare by scholars; attribution is not certain.

quillspy.svg: modern manually drawn SVG lettering, not a traced authentic name.
Reference: same Hand D folio. Gestures studied from "to quallyfy a rebell" and
nearby lines: descending q loop, rising/returning l strokes, p descender and
connected u movements. Each letter is redrawn, proportions and joins derived;
all eight letters and final flourish are a new composition. Do not call it a
Shakespeare autograph or an authentic alphabet. No AI image generator or stock.

The six known signatures were researched but not used in this revision.
Modern National Archives scan terms restrict commercial reuse; Wikimedia's
public-domain historic reproduction asset download was throttled.

Typefaces: existing licensed workspace Aime and KMR Melange assets, used as
modern reading typography, not attributed to Shakespeare. No external font calls.

September 30 ornamental revision: clear capital Q, fine entry/underscoring
flourishes and heavier downstrokes, requested as a historic-signature mood.
These ornaments are original drawing, not copied from a Declaration signature
or evidence of a historical writer. No new historical image asset was used.
