This Monday, the Zarzuela Palace made public the traditional Christmas greeting from the King and Queen and their daughters.
However, what has attracted the most attention has been the handwriting and signature of the Infanta Sofia. According to graphology experts, these small details are a true reflection of her personality and character.
The Spanish website Vanitatis consulted calligraphy specialists to analyze the features hidden behind the handwriting of the youngest daughter of King Felipe and Queen Letizia.
What does Infanta Sofia’s signature reveal?
The Infanta Sofia, who usually remains in the background and in the shadow of her older sister, Princess Leonor, reveals a surprising personality full of nuances.
Begoña Slocker, graphologist and handwriting expert, was one of the experts consulted.
According to the specialist, Princess Sofia’s handwriting conveys sincerity and balance. She explains that “she is sincere, although she represses her enthusiasm,” something evident in the way she writes the words Infanta of Spain, which start downward and end upward.
Through her handwriting, it is also perceived that Sofia is a “good person”. This detail is evident from the absence of angles in her signature, which is rounded and smooth.
The expert also highlights her planning character, a trait she shares with her sister Leonor: “First she traces the rubric and then writes her name, which denotes organization”.
In addition, the Infanta Sofia shows patience in the way she signs. According to Slocker, the rubric ends in a restrained manner, “without lengthening,” which reveals a balanced and calm person. At the same time, the lower stroke, attached to the name, reflects a need to feel secure and have the support of her family.
A signature that speaks of organization and closeness
Another point of view is provided by Ángela Ruiz, an expert at the Natural Consciente center, where graphology is studied and taught.
Ruiz stresses that a person’s signature represents their “social self”, the image they project to others, while handwriting reflects their most intimate side.
In the case of the Infanta Sofia, Ruiz points out how the rubric acts almost like a “shoehorn” where her name fits, reflecting an organized and forward-thinking personality:
“Sofia is someone who prefers to prepare the ground before committing to something.”
This structure also reveals a desire to assert herself and prove her worth, although she does so naturally and elegantly, without the need to insist.
The closeness of the rubric to his name indicates his strong bond with his family and his affectionate nature. On the other hand, the final descending stroke reflects his ability to bring his ideas and projects to reality in a practical and concrete way.
Differences with Princess Leonor
Compared to her older sister, Princess Leonor, Princess Sofia seems to be enjoying an adolescence more in keeping with her age, with more room for self-discovery.
Ruiz explains that, unlike Leonor, Sofia shows traits of curiosity and a certain youthful restlessness, although she maintains a rigorous and organized approach to counteract any insecurity.
An interesting detail is how Sofia’s letters “jump” slightly as she writes, which, according to Ruiz, is a sign of wit and vitality. “This trait speaks of a restless personality, curious and full of life,” concludes the specialist.
