For a short time I was a calligraphist, many years ago.

In most scripts, the area enclosed under the top horizontal curve of the 'S' is less than the area enclosed above the bottom horizontal curve.
Psychological I guess, but the 'S' is usually depicted this way, to visual balance to the character.

That looks to be the case here as well.

Thanks. I thought it was right-side up, but had to make sure. It looked a bit off to me.


Go Tigers!
