Between A and B might be called normal.
A Shows pluck and self-possession, and, if pointed, mathematics.
B Tenderness, but should the writing be pointed, a quick, acute mind, with no sympathy with sentiment.
C Shows indolence; if with pointed letters, mental power, but should the letters be rounded, mental and physical indolence.
D Shows a love of ease, while
E Looks peculiar and indicates self-consciousness, and, as a rule, hidden sentimentality.
THIRDLY.—The writing small and pointed, we get curiosity; if medium in size, and gradually increasing towards the end of the line, it shows an outspoken nature; should the writing diminish towards the end of the line we read tact.
If it is fine and threadlike in appearance, it shows a sensitive mind, diplomacy.
Large writing shows promptness, but if the strokes are very fine, we see appreciation of other people's work—a connoisseur.
Small, clear writing shows love of the abstruse, and if the lines are very delicate, a feeling for the mystic. If the writing is extremely small, it shows pettiness of nature, fussiness over unimportant details.
