Signature Flow & Hesitation Analysis
Natural signatures are written subconsciously; forgeries are drawn consciously.
Natural Flow
Fast, fluid strokes with tapered ends where the pen lifts off the paper while still in motion. Ink distribution varies based on stroke speed.
Forgery Indicators (Drawn)
- Slow, shaky lines (tremor of fraud).
- Blunt ends where the pen stops completely before lifting.
- Unnatural ink pooling at mid-stroke pauses (hesitation points).
- Patching (going back over a line to fix a mistake).
