styles of handwriting.
Everyone has three
The first (natural) is used, for example, when making a a telephone
note, where the brain is concentrating elsewhere. The second (formal) may be used when writing an important letter where 'best' handwriting is deemed necessary. The third (unnatural) is intentional modification in order to improve, disguise or imitate.
A multitude of factors affect the production of handwriting; moods, emotions, mental and physical ailments, the taking of alcohol and drugs and in fact anything which affects the brain, muscles, blood pressure or nervous system. Additionally, the materials used, the time and condition under which writing is produced and familiarity with. the instrument will also affect the results. Indeed, every
person's writing varies on each occasion on which he sets pen to paper and varies whilst writing; no one can produce even two signatures identically.
The pressure exerted on a writing instrument is made in six basic directions; upwards, downwards, to the left, to the right, into the paper and away from it with continuing but varying pressure exerted in circles, elipses and any direction away from a given point. It is controlled by various fingers and the thumb of the writing hand and is produced by a squeezing motion, pushing, pulling or relaxing. The wrist or part of the side of the hand may rest on the paper or be raised in the air; it may move slowly across the page or be
lifted and replaced as the writing proceeds. The pressure will differ according to which hand is used and the variations determined by the brain, blood pressure, muscles and nervous system.
