You were smart not to send your handwriting, just in case the hiring people were looking for something above your credentials. I always tell my clients to be very careful when they are asked to handwrite anything. Even if you are in for an interview and they give you something to fill in. Just don't get paranoid. Sometimes company asks for handwritten application just because it is trendy or somebody else is doing it. Recently, I was asked to review some handwritten applications... I am no graphologist and they did not plan to consult one. Hello Patrick, welcome to Career Fitness Blog.

Although, i believe that there are still a number of companies out there asking for hand written job applications just because of having "old-school" hiring managers. In a couple of cases where I have applied for a job and hand written application was requested, I submitted normal, printed cover letter and resume, with partial success in getting an interview though.
