A large J and R above a broad underline
A thick J combines a large upper oval with a long left-hand upright. A prominent R follows near the middle, above a broad near-horizontal underline. The abbreviated body forms are comparatively small; compare the two large openings with the lower line to see how a minimal written centre receives a substantial surrounding outline.
