Thanks for the feedback.

Bear in mind that sunchí was written with quills or calligraphic brushes (this is mentioned in the article), so the shape of letters doesn't need to follow the strict pattern left by a quill. Being quills and brushes the instruments used the shapes varied from document to document, although not excessively. Regarding the shapes shown in the article, these are to be considered modern typographic versions of the classic style found in old texts.

Regarding fimfa's smaller arm it's perfectly doable with a quill (all the letters were first hand-drawn with a rigid quill, then scanned and, finally, polished with Paint.NET), but there's a trick there: the quill's (or hand's) angle is changed so a straight line is drawn; but you can drawn a curvy line if you want: in that case it'll look wavy, in essence not very different from zanzi's or paf's squiggle.
