Opening lines, The old man and the sea

Hemmingway would really appreciate your calligraphic styling around this....I find the change of size and boldness clever as a means of emphasis on the phrasing that speaks to you. My only criticism would be your spacing between the lines. The style you selected (and beautifully executed) needs a little more room between the lines I think, for the sake of clarity for the viewer. It's just a little technical thing, but it would make this pop even more.

You have a very clean sharp style that even with the flourishes and scrolls is readable and a pleasure to look at. (I also find your selections tend to be thought provoking and genuine, worthy of the artistry you apply to them.)
