Uproll (noun):
1. The act or process of turning the pages of a book, magazine, or newspaper upwards instead of downwards, typically from the bottom to the top. This unconventional reading method is often used in digital or electronic devices where scrolling is done from the bottom of a page to the top. The user interacts with the device by swiping or dragging their finger upwards to view the content sequentially.
2. In music, uproll refers to a percussion technique used on certain instruments, such as the drum set or vibraphone. It involves rapidly rolling the drumsticks or mallets from the bottom to the top of the drumhead or bars, creating a continuous sound. This technique is commonly used to add texture, create tension, or build anticipation in a musical performance.
3. Uproll (also known as upstroke) is a term used in calligraphy and brush lettering to describe the movement of the pen or brush upwards and away from the writing surface. It is the counterpart of the downroll (or downstroke) where the instrument is moved downwards to create thick lines or strokes. Uprolls are typically used to create thin lines, hairlines, or fine details in letterforms.
Overall, the term "uproll" can be applied in different contexts, such as digital reading, music, and handwriting, each denoting a specific action of moving upwards or rolling from the bottom to the top.
