Handwriting Experts Analyze Donald Trump’s Signature

“He always uses, I mean, virtually always uses, a thick felt pen,” Lowe said. 

Not only do the thick, broad and dark lines give a feeling of power, but you “can have all the emphasis without a lot of the work,” said Weil. Meaning, you don’t need much pressure to create a bold line.

Lowe said folks who often use a thick felt pen “like all the trappings of the good life.”

“I know he doesn’t drink, but in general, fine wine and good food and strong colors and things like that, but without putting a lot of energy into getting them. They just want it to come easily,” Lowe noted.

“I like to say that handwriting reveals a lot of really important information about a person, but it doesn’t tell everything,” Lowe said. “We can’t say, ‘Oh yeah, I can tell everything about you from your handwriting,’ but there are certain things — those social skills, or social style, intellectual style, state of the ego … but we certainly can’t tell all your specific secrets.”
