Semi-cursive script

Semi-cursive script, also known as "running script," is a style of Chinese calligraphy that balances fluidity and structure. It allows for quicker, more expressive writing by connecting strokes and characters, making it more natural and flowing than regular script. While still maintaining legibility, semi-cursive offers a personal touch and artistic flair, often used for personal letters and artworks. It’s appreciated for its balance between formality and spontaneity, blending disciplined brushwork with freedom of expression, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
