The widely recognized and commonly used signature of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is, in fact, not his actual signature. The version that is often assumed to be real has been re-illustrated and interpreted in various ways, leading to deviations from the original. The widely known version today differs to some extent from Atatürk’s genuine signature found in historical documents.
The Real Signature of Atatürk
M. Ketanci meticulously examined and enlarged original signature samples from historical records to create an exact digital reproduction of Atatürk’s true signature. While doing so, special attention was given to the pen style used at the time, the natural flow of handwriting, and Atatürk’s unique hand movements. The signature was preserved in its original form without altering letter spacing or stylistic details. The goal is to accurately safeguard this historical artifact and make it accessible to everyone.
