What qualities characterise girlish Japanese handwriting?


In English, handwriting is generally seen as girl is the mini. caps are almost
as large as the maxi. caps, the edges are rounded out, and if the dots are
replaced with little cirles reminiscent of the japanese period (。). What
characteristics are common of handwritting considered 'girlish' in Japanese?




Generally in Japanese handwriting the more feminine something is the more
rounded out and cute it will be. If I think of girly English writing I think
of neat bubbly letters while guys tend to be sloppy and angular. This carries
over to Japanese.
