“A person can lie, pretend, renounce … A portrait can change him and make him more beautiful, a book or a letter can lie.
But in one thing, a person is inseparable from his essence - in handwriting.
Handwriting will betray a person, whether he wants it or not: the handwriting is unique, like the person himself, and sometimes it is said about what the person is silent about”. - Stefan Zweig.
Each of us has three handwriting options in reserve. “Parade” is a thorough, direct one, with which we write a job application. "Joyful" is a hasty, sweeping one with which we write notes to close people. And "home" - careless, lazy, with whom we keep a diary and personal notes. A special type of handwriting - "passionate", which in ancient times was used to write love letters, and now they also write - sometimes …
SCRIPT SLOPE
Pay attention to the pressure first. Strong says that a person is overly energetic, active, likes to demonstrate strength. Moderate pressure indicates a strong will and readiness to achieve the implementation of their plans. Uneven, impulsive pressure - that a person does not complete what he has begun, is impressionable, overly emotional, may be a creative person. Uneven and hysterical, turning from very strong to very weak - about insecurity, a tendency to constant fluctuations.
By the way, Stalin wrote with such strong pressure that one could read the second page as if it were the first.

A tilt to the right by 40-45 degrees is considered the norm and speaks of a certain endurance, endurance and restraint in feelings. The stronger the slope, the more the feelings are beyond the control of the person. If the slope does not exceed 10 degrees, we can talk about pathology. Handwriting tilted to the left by 125 degrees indicates a discrepancy between a person's personal intentions and his living conditions. He also betrays stubbornness, willfulness, in some cases hints that the person was brought up in a boarding school, an orphanage.
In the interpretation of letters, your intuitive perception plays an important role - the handwriting may seem evil or kind to you. (A person possessed by strong anger will also write a letter with great pressure, but the letters will be evil).
DESCRIPTIONS AND ERRORS
Often in letters there are peculiarities - slang expressions, slangs, familiar to a person. Knowing that he is writing incorrectly, he persistently repeats this mistake or uses a slang word in an official letter.
The Roman emperor Augustus, who ruled in 63 BC e., was fond of such things. In his decrees, he used the words "club" and "fool", and instead of "felt bad" he wrote "looked like beets." All this he considered his august habit, along with the obligatory rest in the afternoon and a light breakfast in the morning. He never separated words or hyphenated, having invented his own rules according to which a line must end with a full word. In 1671 in Basel, according to his rules, a book was published for the first and last time. In general, Augustus believed that the spelling was invented by eccentrics, but it was necessary to write as you say. The famous graphologist Debarrol considered the above examples to be a sign of independent character and courage. Indeed, August took part in battles, from which he emerged victorious. The people called him a brave and wise ruler.
WRITE LETTERS IN FINE SCRIPT
This phrase has become so common in our everyday life that we do not even think about what a really small handwriting is. Debarrol believed that a handwriting in which the width of the letters exceeds the height can be called small. Such handwriting, he argued, speaks of restraint, prudence, self-control and observation. Large handwriting - one in which the height of the letters is greater than the width - betrays impracticality, a desire to advance, sensuality, frivolity. The compressed handwriting - like letters glued to each other - speaks of prudence, reaching the level of greed, and narrow thinking.
Balzac and Zweig often used the description of a person's handwriting to characterize the pathological greed of a person, as if letters were glued to each other. But the bold, independent, generous and creatively gifted heroes of their works "wrote" exclusively in a sweeping handwriting.
The evenness of lines and lines, moderate distance between words, the uniformity of pressure indicates that the writer has will and endurance. The lines deviate from a straight line upwards - the person has a somewhat overestimated self-esteem, he is an optimist and romantic, and sometimes he is naive to the point of stupidity. Deviation of the right edge of the line downward indicates a tendency to dramatize events, depression, pessimism. Arc-shaped lines on a blank sheet of paper speak of the plasticity of character, and if we find confirmation of this using other predictive techniques, we can say that a person will sell everything in the world for a piece of bread.
An interesting situation is when a person writes on a lined sheet of paper deviating from the line. If, at the same time, the line is raised a few millimeters from the line of the notebook, it can be assumed that a person has his own opinion in any situation, he is persistent, despotic, always trying to subdue his partner.
LETTERS FROM THE FRONT
The handwriting of an individual person is not something frozen, finished once and for all. Under the influence of social conditions, mood can change not only handwriting, but also the style of writing. Situations associated with a fragile personality change the handwriting beyond recognition - the letters become square and noticeably differ in size.
Letters from the front or from captivity are often written in almost block letters, so that the letters are not connected together. And with large gaps between words - a sure sign of disunity and the threat of personality decay. (Not to be confused with the situation when in normal solid handwriting several letters are written separately. This is a completely different example! Perhaps the person was distracted by something, or he is trying very hard to please).
Dr. Popyalkovsky, who has spent half his life studying handwriting anomalies, claims that in cases where the subjects were in a state of material deprivation, some abuse of dots, strikethroughs, and the repetition of previously written words was noted.
An emotional crisis is characterized by narrowing of letters and exaggeration of the distance between words, since any emotional decline occurs due to the fact that a person is faced with a situation that he cannot accept.
BEETHOVEN'S SCRIPT
Or such an example: a leaf from Beethoven's notebook. Letter dated 1818. The composer is already sick and has accepted a situation that forced him to engage more in theoretical work than concert activity. Lines run widely and in a détente, social difficulties are indicated by the exaggerated distance between words and lines, too large letters. This suggests that, despite the crisis, the person is full of creative plans and hopes for improvement. Strong pressure reminds that Beethoven is still full of strength to fight. Despite the fact that the letter was written in a hurry, the lines are even, which indicates a strong will to win and a healthy perception of reality.
According to the letter from 1822, without even reading the content, we can conclude that the composer's life has become harder - the letters have narrowed and the handwriting has become smaller, but at the same time - this is instability in stability: even lines. The text is located on one sheet, and earlier Beethoven would need a notebook for such a letter. This means that the composer's financial situation has deteriorated.
THE HERMIT KING
Recently, information appeared in the press that Tsar Alexander I and the elder Fyodor Tomsky are one person. And it was established by the graphologists - according to the handwriting of both men.
According to the official version, Alexander I died suddenly in 1825 at the age of 47 from typhoid fever. The funeral took place very quickly, which gave rise to many legends. Chief among them - the king's double died. And the sovereign himself left his post for the sake of serving the faith and for a long time lived as a hermit in Siberia under the name of Fyodor Kuzmich.
For many years, historians considered this a fiction, although many noted the similarity of the old man with Romanov, as well as his education and refined manners. And finally, the president of the Russian graphological society, Svetlana Semyonova, compared the handwriting of the emperor and the manuscript of the saint. Her conclusion: one person wrote them.
By the way, the famous lawyer Anatoly Koni at the beginning of the twentieth century, comparing these two handwritings, claimed that "the letters were written by the hand of one person."
