I believe that “writ small” can be restated (with some adjustment of the word order) as “a small version of” and “a large version of”. An answer he doesn’t exist yet uses this word.
I don’t think this construction should be used with other adjectives, though. Since “written” is a variation of “writ”, you could only use adjectives that might also apply to the manner in which one writes something. What if elephant writs hairy?
