How it's used
Refers specifically to a style of calligraphy that balances legibility with speed and fluidity. It is often preferred by calligraphers for personal correspondence or artistic expression because it allows for more individual flair than the rigid structure of 楷書. Unlike 草書, which can be difficult for the average person to decipher, this style remains readable while still conveying a sense of motion.
Examples
The running script he writes has a lot of spirit.
