Four strokes account for everything here, and the accounting repays patience. Two large, rounded outer boundaries - left smaller and more compressed, right broader and opener - sit pressed together at a central axis, sharing weight without quite merging. Inside each lobe a shorter, heavier arc curves inward from the top: the left one thicker and more vertical, the right one lighter and angled, as though the hand moved with slightly less commitment on the second pass. Black at full opacity, no tonal variation, no grey anywhere - the line either exists at full pressure or it does not exist at all.
