Acute & Grave Relationship

In Vietnamese typography, the Acute (Dấu Sắc) and the Grave (Dấu Huyền) are mirror images. They must share the same form, weight, and angle.

The Acute signifies a rising tone, while the Grave signifies a falling tone.

Key Rule: Their bottoms should be narrower than their tops (like a droplet or a brush stroke), and they should be positioned symmetrically relative to the vertical axis of the letter.
