Cross Pattée

A Cross Pattée has flaring arms narrowing towards the center and expending wider at the ends. The ends of the arms may be straight or rounded. In general, the cross pattée features non-indented ends, but their broadness and narrowness towards the center can vary. Some flare in a straight line, while others feature a curvy shape. Also, some variations might feature triangular arms that come close to filling the square.
