Abstract
Aim. Development of the author’s definition of handwriting microfeatures as a set of their properties that are important for the process of handwriting examinations.
Methodology. A comparative study revealed the main properties of handwriting features in general, on the basis of which the qualitive characteristics of handwriting microfeatures were established. The basis for the experimental material ware 60 manuscripts made using 60 ballpoint pens as the most common writing instrument. On the basis of the experiment the data on the quantitative characteristics of handwriting microfeatures were obtained.
Results. Qualitative and quantitative characteristics allowed us to formulate their author’s definition.
Research implications. The formulated definition can be used for further development on the theory forensic handwriting examination and expertology. The most stable handwriting microfeatures identified can be used by the practicing handwriting examiners to increase the identification significate of simple and brief research objects when forensically significant information obtained by the traditional method is insufficient.
