Handwriting analysis
Upload or paste a handwriting photo to inspect slant, letter size, word spacing, baseline direction and loops beside the writing.
Abraham Lincoln · Gettysburg Address
What does Lincoln’s handwriting look like?
The sample’s downstrokes lean 28° to the right of vertical (strong forward) across 21 steady lines and 231 words, with well-formed loops and balanced word spacing.

Handwriting measurements
Empirical measurements of slant angle, baseline trajectory, letter height, word spacing, loop counts, and stroke weight.
The sample’s downstrokes lean 28° to the right of vertical (strong forward); across 221 words the middle half sit within 33°.
The sample’s lines run level overall (+0.0°): 1 of 21 lines rise, 0 fall. Along each line the writing stays within 16% of a letter's height of a straight line (steady).
The sample’s lowercase letter bodies are about 8 pixels tall in this image.
The gap between words in the sample is about 2.5 times the lowercase body height.
Disconnected ink groups average 0.33 per estimated letter. Compare the joined letterforms with the separate marks.
Letter height varies 25% between lines and slant varies 33° across words: low regularity.
The median stroke is 2.7 pixels wide, 0.34 times the letter-body height.
4 underlines or separator lines and 0 list markers (dashes, arrows). The page is organized visually, not just written.

How to analyze handwriting from a photo
- STEP 012+ lines · PNG/JPG
Select a clear writing sample
Use natural handwriting with several words across at least two lines on unlined or lightly lined paper.
Natural sample - STEP 02Overhead · High contrast
Photograph the page flat and straight
Capture the page flat from above with dark ink on light paper with the camera square to the paper and even lighting.
Straight-on photo - STEP 03Overlays · Zoom & fade
Inspect 8 geometric trait layers
Examine slant vectors, baseline trajectory, letter body heights, word gaps, and loop dimensions right above your sample.
