signature style

Recognizable creative fingerprint

A signature style is a distinctive manner of expression that becomes strongly associated with a particular person, brand, or creative entity.

Artists develop signature styles in their work; designers become known for signature styles in fashion or architecture.

The phrase implies consistency and recognizability—something that marks the creator's identity: Her bold use of color became her signature style.
