laajakirjoisesti

Laajakirjoisesti is a Finnish term used to describe a manner of writing or typography characterized by broad, wide-letter forms. The word comes from laaja meaning “wide” and kirjoitus meaning “writing,” and grammatically it functions as an adverb describing how text is written or presented.

In practice, laajakirjoisesti refers to text that uses large, spacious, or thick-lettered characters to improve legibility. The concept may be discussed in typography, calligraphy, or handwriting studies, particularly when contrasting different letterforms or exploring accessibility considerations. It can be relevant in contexts where clear visibility is important, such as educational materials, public-facing text, or design discussions concerned with readability.

The term is relatively specialized and not commonly used in everyday conversational Finnish. In ordinary usage, writers might instead describe text as “large,” “clear,” or “easy to read” without employing the fixed adverbial form laajakirjoisesti. When encountered, it is typically within linguistic, typographic, or design-oriented discussions rather than as a routine descriptor of daily writing.
