The pen had a name, and it read 'Catherine' in bold, black sans-serif. It was for signing the printed piece of paper that the credit-card processing machine had spat out, complete with a dotted line of dashes in case you didn't know where you should sign.
Since when did we begin having lines to sign on? I received two letters from the guy who's managing some of my funds back home, and on pages where my penstrokes were needed, he had stuck serious-looking, translucent red arrows (the funky sort you can peel off) which said: "SIGN HERE".
The ArtLex art dictionary has an entry with regards to artists and their signatures, but I haven't managed to find anything else.
I hereby declare that my brain is fried.
