ashen_key noticed something weird: Steve's handwriting, as seen in Cap 2, looks modern and not like someone who grew up in the 1930s. So zie wrote a fic about it, which is short and excellent: Penmanship.
Very, very late reply: I think this article is relevant to this discussion, too. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/08/ballpoint-pens-object-lesson-history-handwriting/402205/ Because it happened to myself. Starting out with ink and a kind of cursive, and ending up with a weird print mixture after I started using ballpoint pens more often. Over a fairly short period of time that's probably more or less comparable to the period of time elapsed between Steve's defrosting and Winter Soldier.
