Handwriting

Handwriting is the personal and unique style of writing with a writing instrument, such as a pen or pencil in the hand. Handwriting includes both block and cursive styles and is separate from generic and formal handwriting script/style, calligraphy or typeface. Because each person's handwriting is unique and different, it can be used to verify a document's writer.

The deterioration of a person's handwriting is also a symptom or result of several different diseases.
The inability to produce clear and coherent handwriting is also known as dysgraphia.
