Spanish term or phrase: de abundante evolución escritural
This is from an expert handwriting analysis report written in Venezuela. Author is describing the signatures that he was charged with examining.

Todas las firmas examinadas en las copias fotostáticas responden a ejecuciones de producción manuscritas. Las mismas son de estilo cursivas, de abundante evolución escritural y provistas de suficientes elementos gráficos escriturales comparables.

I gather that the general idea is that the signatures were all handwritten in cursive and they have enough features to make it possible to compare them, but I have no idea what the "de abundante evolución escritural" refers to. Thanks in advance!

highly calligraphic/ cursive handwriting style


Explanation:
'abundante' = ' richly' = 'highly; I think it refers to the highly evolved level of flow ( floweriness) in the handwritten signatures

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: 'Cursive' and calligraphic' are styles, not characteristics, of handwriting. Plus, the author already said the signatures were in cursive style.
