What Is It ?

While it can be seen, never is it heard
It brings in business with a single word.
There are twelve of them in the skies above
There is a language that can show you love.
It may be formal, often done by hand
It can make you stop just with one command.
It may show open if that side exposed
You will turn away should you see it closed.
