It's pretty. Not the kind of script form I generally like - too many
spiky straight lines, and not enough unity among the characters - but
in the mass it has a certain undeniable charm. I wish more scripts
were presented with long examples like this. A well-informed choice
of text, too... That said, I'd like to see a list of canonical
character-forms and their meanings, and examples of calligraphic and
printed styles. The last isn't something you can produce quickly, of
course.
