I have seen this used with other words besides "large" and "small". What other words can be used? Can this structure be used more generally with other adjectives?

I think “writ large” is so idiomatic that it almost counts as a stormy petrel. – Jon Purdy Dec 22 '11 at 4:00

"Writ" as a verb is an archaic form of "written", the past tense and past participle of "write".

Hence it will take any adverb that applies to writing.

"Writ quickly", "writ slowly", "writ convincingly", "writ badly", etc.

However, I don't recommend using it, except for the idiom "writ large".

Apparently writ small has been used enough to register on NGram, but I'm sure that's mostly because it so closely echoes the standard writ large. I totally agree it would be a mistake to use anything other than the standard one unless you have some specific good reason, and are aware most people will at the very least do a bit of a double-take when they read anything else. – FumbleFingers Dec 21 '11 at 23:01
I really expected to find that "writ large" was found in either Shakespeare or the King James Bible, but apparently not. – slim Dec 21 '11 at 23:10

First use I can find is "New presbyter is but old priest writ large". Milton, 'On the new forcers of conscience under the Long Parliament'. – TimLymington Dec 22 '11 at 12:57
