SINGAPORE: Kim Jong Un's distinctive signature, penned on a historic agreement with US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, indicates his ambition and creativity, handwriting experts said.

Trump's signature, by contrast, indicates a more guarded personality, they said.

Graphologist Koo Bon-jin said Mr Kim's signature suggested an ambitious man who is "intuitive, rather than rational and logical".

"He also writes very fast, which indicates he's quick-witted and impatient," Koo added.

Kim's signature contrasts with  Trump's angular, closely packed autograph, said  Karen Leong, a body language expert and director of Singapore-based consultants Influence Solutions.

"There is tremendous space between each character, which indicates a creative individual who is open to taking on new ideas, to evolving,"  Leong said of  Kim's signature.
