    Signature
    A `signature` (from Latin `signare`, `sign`) is a handwritten (and sometimes stylized) depiction of someone's name, nickname or even a simple `X` that a person writes on documents as a proof of identity and intent. The writer of a signature is a `signatory`. Like a handwritten signature, a `signature` work describes the work as readily identifying its creator.
