    The ascender on the "d" and the flourished descender on the "s" make a really lovely balance.

    Ditto that---the ascenders/descenders almost obviate the need for the other elaborations. Very nice!

    Me either! It's beautiful. Looking at these, I can't help thinking about all the previous scribes, going back hundreds of years, who have written those words in that style. Quite
    a tradition you're preserving, Manny.

    (Can I ask what pen/nib you're using for this one?)
