It really does depend on the person... I've seen many a woman's
handwriting that was atrocious, and a number of men's that was quite
clear....   Mine is neat and clear, often fairly small as well...
Richard's is also extremely neat and clear, but less small... to me it
does still look "masculine" although not at all messy....  We were able
once to foil a company that tried to switch our phone service out from
under us to theirs instead of the one we were with, simply by sending
the regulators a copy of Richard's real signature, totally different
from the messy scrawl that they claimed was his signature authorizing
the switch....

And then there are the old documents where one still has to make
educated guesses as to what word was meant there....   Old letters and
wills, especially....
