Anatomy: Constant following of baseline apart from x that perturbed over with a tapering extension of the 'x's leg, sharp flicks at the end of terminals from the bone drawing method. Sharp edges to the 'o' looks like a diamond, contrasts with a smooth circular coiner. Ornate extension of the 'B' vertical stroke that interacts and intwines within the Bowl of the B, wich is one constant negative space instead of 2 individual counters like this "B".
