Description
When signs are arranged in quadrats, their aspect ratio is sometimes altered.
For example:
Respecting the ancient Egyptian sense of style and proportions, this should generally be avoided.
I recommend **keeping the aspect ratio in smaller variants**.
(In cases where this seems unavoidable, Egyptian writers did not simply squeeze the whole glyph, but changed its shape.)
