Did you know your handwriting style
might reveal bits and pieces of your personality?
As well as your SOUL?!
[Forebodingly surprising music]
As your resident pen experts,
we've seen our fair share of handwriting samples,
so OBVIOUSLY, we're super qualified
to help you analyze your handwriting.
In all seriousness,
we'll be making sweeping generalizations,
but it's all in good fun.
Follow along with your own handwriting sample,
and see if any of our statements apply to you!
Size
If your letters are large,
you probably have a big personality.
You’re outgoing, extroverted,
or enjoy attention from others.
You like to use markers
and pens with large tip sizes
to complement your writing style,
as fine tip pens can’t capture your charisma.
If your letters are small,
you’re pretty focused
and pay attention to details.
You definitely prefer fine-tip pens
like the Pilot Juice Up
or Hi-Tec-C to match your style.
Finally, if your letters are somewhere in between,
you’re well-adjusted and flexible.
You can easily adapt your handwriting size
no matter the situation,
whether you’re using a tiny sticky note
or writing on a whiteboard.
You’re not picky about the type of pen you use—
gel pens, ballpoints,
and markers are all fair game.
Pressure
Do you press down hard when you write?
Then your personality
is probably on the more intense side.
If you’re using too much pressure,
you’re probably accustomed to ballpoint pens.
Try your hand at fountain pens
or rollerballs
so you won’t have to press down so hard
when you write.
If you use light pressure,
you’re more carefree or chill about things.
You don’t dwell on the appearance of your letters;
they'll probably come out fine...
right?
You tend to use gel pens
or fountain pens to accompany your light hand.
Slant
If your writing slants to the right,
you go with the flow:
your writing style
simply follows what feels natural.
This is especially true if you’re right-handed!
On the other hand,
if your writing slants to the left,
you’re more rebellious and don’t like to conform...
or you’re left handed.
If so, we recommend using quick-drying ink pens
like the Zebra Sarasa Dry
or Zebra Mark On,
so you don’t have to worry about smearing.
If your writing has no slant at all?
You’re a disciplined person,
valuing neatness and organization.
Chances are
you’re part of handwriting communities online
and enjoy showing off
how neat your handwriting is.
You like to use popular pens or highlighters
like the Zebra Mildliner.
Word Spacing
If your words are condensed and spaced closely,
there’s probably a lot on your mind.
You have more thoughts than can fit on the page,
so many that your hand can’t keep up with them.
If your arm is stiff while you write,
try loosening up your muscles
or use a pen with good ink flow
so writing feels more comfortable.
Are your words spaced widely apart?
Then you take time
to think about what you’re writing,
giving each word the weight it deserves.
Or you just don’t have that much to say
and that's okay!
Letter Connections
If your letters are separate from each other,
you’re likely careful and precise.
You like to give each letter its space to shine.
You might use a fine tip gel pen or fineliner
to really emphasize
the spaces between each letter.
Now if your letters are all connected,
you’re often in a rush or impatient,
or you just want to be efficient.
After all, you can write more quickly
if all the letters are touching.
You like pens that write smoothly,
like the Pentel EnerGel.
Dotting i’s
There are many different ways to dot i’s,
and each style can reveal a bit about a person.
For example, drawing a circle, heart,
or other shape may imply you’re playful--
or that you like cute things
and adding flourishes to your handwriting.
Adorable pens like Dong-A Miffy Gel Pens
or Zebra Kirarich Glitter Highlighters
might be in your pen case.
A simple dot
shows that you’re straight to the point.
You don’t really care for embellishments
or extra fluff.
If you slash your i’s,
you like to stand out from the crowd,
but not too much.
And if you don’t dot your i’s at all?
[Ominous horror impact]
You prefer to cut to the chase,
even more so than people who use a simple dot.
I guess,
as long as you can tell it’s the letter i,
the dot isn’t necessary...
I guess...
Signature
Is your signature like mine?
Squiggly and hard to read?
[Laughs]
Then you might keep to yourself,
only revealing what you need to.
You stick to ballpoints,
as they work on different kinds of paper
like receipts.
If your signature is legible,
you’re probably an open book.
You might have grown up practicing your signature
to make sure it looks the best it can be.
You like to use fountain pens,
as they add more character to your signature.
