Handwritten scripts contemplates a great difference in range of natural variations every time an individual executes the process of writing. The purpose of the present study is to focus on the attempt made to extract out natural variations with time interval. The task involved collection of 540 samples (60 samples from each age group- 30 samples each from males & females) from 9 different age groups, that is two handwriting samples in present handwriting (with an interval of 5–10 minutes between the two handwritings) with content same as that of previous written script (old handwriting) which is also taken as a sample for comparative study with time interval ranged from 2–33 years between present and old handwriting. It has been found that connectivity between letters, alignment and spacing are highly significant characteristic along with those which remain unaffected and intact by showing consistency in skill, tremors and speed in due course of age and time. The findings of the present study will assist in the cases which are lacking in contemporary handwritings and can be undertaken with ease by taking into account the handwriting characteristics which are prone to variations.
