I write Eshet Chayils (paper and quill) to practice my Ktav most of the time.
Thoughts? (Everyone's input will be appreciated very much!)

    The vov of the mem should lean towards the left a bit more perhaps?...

      The vov and top yud of alefs look slightly misaligned

He is new to reading Hebrew and pronounced the welcome sign as " brooning " or " broobing " (instead of the intended " brookhim ". I replied that he was more correct than the graphic designer, as the letter meant to be a " khaf " was closer to a halakhic "Nun" or "Bet", and had this been Ktav STaM, the letter would likely be considered pasul as a "Khaf".
