"The middle stroke of the aleph/lamed ligature meets the upright stroke at a right angle, and the smaller upright stroke is also at a right angle. The lamed has a slightly angled ascender with a distinct termination flag, and the shin has a vertical middle stroke joining midway on the bottom stroke. The final tsadde has the ascender angled to the right and the middle stroke of the tet almost touches the bottom stroke." (Lubell-2015)
