Handwriting Day

January 23

Every year on January 23, the world celebrates Handwriting Day or, more elegantly, the National Handwriting Day, which was established to remind all of us of the uniqueness of hand writing, the need to practice it, the uniqueness of each person's handwriting.

On this day, one of the prominent American statesmen, John Hancock ( January 23, 1737 - October 8, 1793) was born, who first signed the Declaration of Independence. Hancock's signature was large and sweeping, which added authority to its author.

After all, the growing popularity of computers, e-mails and electronic notepads, SMS, sets of stickers with typed prompts, and other means of quick communication gradually leads a modern man to the opportunity to express his thoughts by writing them with his own hands. Perhaps, in the near future, a letter or postcard, written "by hand", will become a welcome acquisition.

The history of the development of hand writing is thousands of years old, and during all this time, people tried to determine the character of a person by handwriting.

Connection between the handwriting and the spiritual world of man were expressed  by Aristotle, the great Italians of the Renaissance.

In 1875, the French abbot Jean Ippolit Michoner used the term "graphology" for the first time (Greek-Greek γράφω - I write and λόγος - teaching), which today defines the field of knowledge about the handwriting and the methods of its study in connection with the mental state of the individual.

A great contribution to the theory of graphology was made by the German philosopher and psychologist Ludwig Klages (December 10, 1872 - July 29, 1956).

Modern scientists call the seven basic characteristics of handwriting, according to which you can create a portrait of a person:

1.  the size of the letters, 
2. slope,
3. shape, 
4. the direction of the handwriting, 
5. the intensity of pressure, 
6. the nature of spelling, 
7. the overall evaluation of handwriting. 

Graphologists believe that between the features of the handwriting and character traits, there must necessarily be a connection, because the human brain subconsciously "drives" the hand of the writer. By the way, they explain the work of the brain by the fact that when a person grows up and changes his character also changes.

For example, if you have a small handwriting, then you are a calm, but hidden person; a slope to the left also testifies to secrecy, but at the same time to criticize the distrust and love of all; direct handwriting indicates a strong, but cold and stubborn person; sweeping handwriting is peculiar to energetic, intelligent and efficient people; round letters indicate softness of character, angular - about selfishness; calligraphic handwriting indicates a lack of independence, and a beautiful, but illegible, on the contrary, independence from other people's opinions strong pressure from extroverts, weak pressure from romantics and introverts.

A person's handwriting may vary depending on the situation, mood, and other factors. When a person experiences strong emotions, he writes with more pressure than usual.

If a person writes each time with a different handwriting, then this indicates his sensitivity and creative abilities.

As is known, handwriting became a very important tool for criminalists. The goal of handwriting experts is to establish the authenticity of a particular document. Experts in the scientific expertise of the document must perfectly know the various styles of writing. Of course, they also carefully study all the characteristics of handwriting, in order to accurately establish the identity of the writer.

It can be assumed that scientific research, the subject of which is handwriting, will continue, and scientists will gain a deeper understanding of the dependence of handwriting on the character of a person. We can assume that developers of various mobile devices and gadgets will create a tool that allows us to write emails in your handwriting.

But, fortunately, in our life there are always situations when you want to write good and simple words with your own unique hand.
