Letter-shape Variation

Letter-Shape Variation is a graphical phenomenon in palaeography whereby individual letterforms within an Insular Script exhibit deviations in morphological structure or execution due to scribal practice, regional convention, or diachronic development, distinguishing it from standardized orthographic representation by emphasizing the physical and contextual plasticity of written characters.
