Most of the lower case letter are quite similar to mine; the only ones that
differ much are "t" and "z". Then there are some minor differences; my "b" is
closed, I add a horizontal line thru the descender of "q", my "s" have a less
reduced upper curl, and the general style is a bit more angular.

The capitals are out-and-screaming different. Mine looks much closer to
machine-printed capitals than to this.
