[Tex/LaTex] vertical space after \hrulefill

formattingvertical alignment

I use the following as a title for my draft document:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

% Various packages

\begin{document}

%%% Title
\begin{center}

\hrulefill\\
\textit{\bfseries \Huge The name of my draft}\\ 
\hrulefill 

\begin{flushright}
\textit{my name}
\end{flushright}

\end{center}

\end{document}

The code generates a vertical space between the last \hrule and my name.

How can I decrease that space?

Thanks in advance!

Some lower level commands in this case seem to give a better and easier to reach result:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

% Various packages

\begin{document}

%%% Title
{\centering

\hrule
\kern3pt

{\Huge\itshape\bfseries \Huge The name of my draft}

\kern3pt
\hrule
\kern9pt
}
{\raggedleft\itshape my name\par}

\vspace{1cm}

The text starts here

\end{document}

You can act on the dimensions after \kern to tune up the spacing.
