    When I was younger my signatures on important documents looked forged because I got nervous and wanted to make my signature look as much as my usual signatures as possible so no one could question my signature on the current document. However, I would write it really slowly and sometimes wobbly and yeah ... great how you sometimes get the opposite result of what you were going for xD

    I work at a bank so I look at a LOT of signatures and try to determine forgeries. I’m proud I got them all right! One of the things I look for in a signature is the order that a letter is written. For example, “b.” Do they normally make a line then a circle? Or a circle and a line? Continuously move from top line to looped circle bottom? Or from the circle to the line?
    I also studied in Japanese for several years where the order and direction of strokes makes a big difference, which I think definitely helps in determining a forged signature. Sometimes my 2s are flat bottomed and sometimes they have a loop, but in all cases I write top to bottom and if the 2 is written in a different order, it’s a very clear indicator of being written with a different hand-even though I have a lot of variation in general!

      @@LeahEckardt we literally caught someone with forged checks and stalled long enough for them to get arrested yesterday. They had been hitting a bunch of banks in the area with checks stolen from mailboxes, trying to cash them. The strange, forged-looking signature tipped off the teller who called the number of the person on the check who said, “What!! I definitely didn’t write that!!”

    I saw a video a pen attached to a printer writing an essay made in Chat GPT. If an AI were able to get enough samples of your handwriting in order to copy the way your write, could it get to the point where a signature written by a computer isn't distinguishable from a real signature?

    I finally decided to go with an intuitive loopy swoopy base line with identifiable starting L, a slanted low line t and a high line kicking slanted H that finishes with a lacklustre slide looking vaguely similar to the starting elongated L with a low line warp some people think it looks symmetrical. It's been my solid signature for 2 years, I haven't added or removed any new flourishes, I feel like it's the most intuitive way to write my sign.

      @@LeahEckardt Just like to point out that
      "Certificate of Authenticity" literally means nothing. Many people see one of these pieces of paper and think it means something. It doesn't. It's not a legal document, all it means is "According to (insert random autograph dealer), this signature is real." That means that you or I could make our own CoA right now and say that a fake Harrison Ford autograph is real....according to us. And we wouldn't face any repercussions at all. No one can prove if the actor actually signed it, and the actors themselves don't know or care what they've signed in their lifetime. It's even worse for deceased actors. No one can prove a fake Heath Ledger autograph is real, and the actor himself isn't even around to verify them.
      Just because it looks real, doesn't mean it is. I mentioned earlier that many fake autographs can be identified immediately. Others can't. Some forgers do an amazing job of replicating actors' signatures. Just because your autograph looks similar to ones you saw on Google Images doesn't mean it's real. Some actors' signatures are so short, like just their initials or even just a weird scribble, so it's impossible to identify fakes in those cases. Plus, there's a machine called an autopen that exists where someone can mechanically reproduce an actor's autograph in large volumes pretty flawlessly.
