The growing development of new technologies and the evolution of communication devices has led the world’s population to gradually replace traditional writing on paper and pen with digital handwriting. This shift in writing instruments and media presents new challenges for calligraphy specialists. The aim of this study is to compare digital handwriting and traditional writing on paper and to explore the possible influence of different supports on the analysis of handwriting. This study’s design consists of the analysis and comparison, by three calibrated forensic experts, of the handwriting of 10 participants, 4 of whom provided anonymous samples for authorship identification purposes. Preliminary results of the comparative analysis in both media revealed some differences in letter size, spacing, dots, ovals, and initial and terminal strokes, and similarities in graphic impulses, inclination, commas, punctuation, accentuation, calligraphic case, speed, and letter shapes. Concerning authorship identification, a 75% success rate was achieved. |
