I think im officially a 5:3:6 man from now on, this looks so much better.
@freemo Can you please explain this? What's 5:3:6?
@fikran
The ratio of the different parts of the letter. I wrote thr scale on the right hand side illustrated it. The top part is 5 units of length, middle 3, bottom 6. It defines the proportions of the script.
@freemo I see. Is this a known writing style?

The specific ratio i picked is arbitrary. But the idea that you can vary the look of a script by changing the ratio is common yes.
The style here is Copperplate, specifically the Italian Hand variant. You can pick whatever ratio you'd like to write it in but some look better than others of course.
@fikran
Here is an example (not by me) showing the letter h in 3 different ratios for comparison. Since h doesnt have a descending portion its 2 part ratio instead of the usual 3 part ratio
