Small Letters and Their Meaning in Handwriting Analysis

© Kerrie Spencer

In this article we will be taking a look at some of the small letters in handwriting and what they might mean to a handwriting analyst.

Let's start first of all with a small a, open to the left side. Not at the top of the letter, but slightly down on the left side. You'll notice it right away, as it looks awkward, sort of unfinished. What does this mean? Plain and simple, it indicates greed. What about an "a" that is formed like a small lariat lope. Rather elegant in form, not too big, not too small. It does have an "overhanging lip" to the top right of the a. What we have here is a prissy, nitpicking person.

Now, let's move on to more open a's. We already talked about the a open to the side, but this time we are looking at a's open at the bottom - much like an upturned coffee cup. Or, like a broken circle if you will. This means dishonesty. As you can see, there is more than one way to identify deceit in handwriting samples.

Next we have a narrow a with a knot to the top right hand corner of the letter. Now if you remember what we've said in previous articles, you will remember that narrow means small minded (among other things) but it also in this instance, means secretive. The knot seems to "tie it up" - keeps the words or secrets inside.

We looked at an a open to the left hand side. What about an a open to the right hafurther furhter up the top of the letter? You got it! Gossipy! You're catching on to this very well. So now let's take a peek at an a that has what we call a "hook" inside it. It looks like avsmall "v" inside the body of the letter. This means the person is a faker or liar.

We can't have a discussion of letters without also mentioning connecting letters. In this instance we're going to talk abut angular connecting or ending strokes. You'll know for sure what I mean because when you see this type of a sample, you are struck by the rigid up and down strokes. Anyhow, this indicates secret greed. Meaning, you won't notice it right away about this person, but eventually it will register as you get to know them.

Enough of the a's for now. Let's move on to the b's. And we will start with cautious. This is a really knotted b, like it's tied up with a bow in the middle. Now if you have a long, tall, narrow b, rather all pinched together, you have resentment.
