Thought experiment: A writing system using a single stamp. What shape on the stamp would enable expressive written forms?
@oedmarap So you think it should be symmetrical, no corners?
@tomosaigon Definitely. You can have asymptotes, intersections, joins, layers, rotations, scaling, start/endpoints, etc.
IMHO you can get many more permutations out of it vs. a sharp-cornered shape.

@manuelcaeiro so maybe a hinged stamp? :D

More fun than 2 flags. ;)
@tomosaigon A semi-circle might be a good idea.
