Impulsos escriturales

Spanish to English Other Other Caligrafía
Buenas a todos. Un informe de un perito calígrafo, en su análisis de una firma, se refiere a que la misma fue estampada en cinco impulsos escriturales, con ataque y remate absolutamente determinados.

Quisiera que algún especialista en la materia me dijera si existe algún término o expresión equivalente en la técnica.

Desde ya, muchas gracias,
Gabriel

I wonder if it could mean something like they pressed down hard five times.
I don't think there's going to be any definitive terminology - it's pseudoscience, if you ask me. I had dealings with a handwriting expert in a court case once, and it seems to me they say whatever their clients want them to say.

(embellished with five) pen strokes

Although I am not an expert, I have just read through a few examples of signature analyses by graphologists and it seems to me that the language used is not specific to this field.

Or just 'strokes'
Example sentence:

The generous person will have long, garlanded final strokes on their letters.

EMBELLISHMENTS. The signature stands its own right. Any additional strokes are a deliberate attempt to draw more attention to it.

Something went wrong...
