1♥/1♠ = better major (3 cards possible)
1nt = 18–19 hcp, balanced
2♣ = 15+ hcp, natural
2♦ = artificial gf, exclusive of 2-suiter hands
2♥, 2♠, 3♣, 3♦ = 5+ in bid suit, semi-forcing
2nt = 22–24 hcp, balanced
3♥/3♠/4♣ = gf, 2-suiter (5-5):

1♣ - 1♥/1♠

2♣ = 15+, one-round force, responder’s 2♦ forces game.
2♦ = relay, 18+ hcp, promises @ least 3 cards in responder’s major.
2♥ = (after 1♠ response) 5+♥, (18+ hcp), gf
2nt = 18+ hcp, (semi-)balanced, denies 3-card support in responder’s suit.
after 1♣-1♥/1♠-2♦, responder bids follows ( bubrotka ):
2♥ = 7–10 hcp, 4 cards in bid major
2♠ = 11+ hcp, 4 cards in bid major
2nt = 11+ hcp, @ least 5 cards in bid major
3♣, 3♦ = 9–11 hcp, 5 in bid minor, 4 in bid major
3♥ = 7–10 hcp, 5 cards, unbalanced (then 3♠ asks shortage, 3nt asks side suit)
3♠ = 7–10 hcp, 5332 5 in bid major
3nt = 7–10 hcp, 6 cards in bid major
