Handwriting Analysis Template

In handwriting forgery there are two main types or ways of forging someone handwriting, free handing and tracing. With free handing, the forger spends time learning and practicing the signature. They begin to develop the signature and soon their replication becomes if not the same but also similar to the signature they are trying replicate. However, the other method is tracing and that involves less learning and skill because the forger is just merely writing over the original print. Unlike the learning aspect of free handing, tracing is a flawed method because handwriting characteristics such as line quality, words spacing, and slant are more noticeably different because of the forger’s persistence on getting it exactly the same as the original. With free hand, the forger has learned and practiced the signature and its second nature to them. Overall, free handing is a better method than tracing due to the learning that is involved with free handing.
