Etymology
古 (“ancient”) + 印 (“seal”) + 体 (“style”)
Noun
古印体 • (kointai)
- (typography) a typestyle that mimics the look of 隷書 (reisho, “clerical script”) being stamped (thus, with broken and irregular strokes) rather than handwritten; this "ancient seal" look arose in Nara-period Japan, and has no relation to the original Chinese 篆書 (tensho, “seal script”)
