Docusign will drop six new signature styles that let sign documents with more personalized flair. Think of it as digital signature's glow-up moment. Designed by typeface designers Libbie Bischoff and Lynne Yun, the new styles channel everything from boardroom energy to vintage charm.
Because signature shouldn't just say agree -- it says who are. The Generational Plot Twist: A new Docusign survey reveals that only 51% of Gen Z signs their name in cursive on paper (compared to 80% of Boomers), and a quarter just print their name. Other 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. By the Numbers: Security is the top priority, but personalization is close behind: 64% say security is key for digital signatures--but 55% want personalization, too. Aesthetics matter to almost everyone: 78% care about the look of their digital signature.
Signature styles reflect personality and generation: Gen Z loves "playful & modern," Boomers go " classic & bold." Signatures are deeply personal: Nearly 40% say their written and digital signatures are core to their identity--and that number rises with age.
