I’ve been wondering, if you never learned cursive writing, how do you sign your name, like on a lease or other place where you have to sign?

Do you just print your name like you would anything else? Or maybe you looked up how to write just the cursive letters needed for your signature? Or maybe invented a way to sort of connect your printed letters together so it looks like a signature? Or … ?

edit: Specifically hoping to hear from people who did not learn to write cursive, please indicate if that applies in your answer. Thanks

    i use digital id with a cryptographic signature. get with the times, grandpa!

    more seriously: i learned cursive not because it was compulsory, but because i have fine motor issues and the teachers couldn’t read my normal handwriting. so they thought cursive would help. unfortunately i’m also left-handed, so all it did was give me cramps, make my hand dirty, and tear up the paper even more. eventually i got an alphasmart.

    i’ve never even been able to make two instances of the same letter consistent, nevermind a whole word. thankfully a signature alone is not a valid identification method.
