the fingerprint your soul leaves when typing isn't fast enough to hide it
means The way a person forms letters and words when writing by hand, distinctive enough to identify them and notoriously hard to disguise.
from A plain English compound, stitched together from "hand" and "writing" — "hand" from Old English "hand," and "write" from Old English "writan," which originally meant to scratch, score, or carve, since the first writing was cut into bark, bone, or wood rather than flowed in ink. The literalness is charming: handwriting is, etymologically, the scratching done by your hand.
