Beauty of handwriting is that it doesn’t even need to be consistent for an expert to determine with pretty high accuracy whether or not it’s coming from the same person. A physical signature is actually a pretty decent way to verify that a specific person really did sign something.
What you can’t do is determine if someone is a criminal or not, but the way someone writes is usually pretty concrete, because the patterns of muscle movements the brain has encoded to mean “write these letters”
Mine isn’t even consistent, I can never remember how i did it last time so I just doodle something

I thought that was debunked as unreliable pseudoscience

I’m no expert, but a quick Wikipedia search was enough for me to not immediately brush it off as pseudoscience.
It’s not claimed to be exact of course, but it does appear to me that consensus is that it can be done with reasonable accuracy.
I know my scribbles well enough to know it was me that did it.
