Ghalia, this isn't a particular font, its just something i came up with,
Omar, don't be sorry, i guess its just a matter of taste, however where did you get the idea it was devilish, what defines something that's devilish and something that angelic or whats in between? is it the curves of the font, or the fact that its in black and white, or is it that the words are in no particular sequence, or is it just something that you felt?

Well Sabri, the colors and the shapes of the letters, especially the finishings of the letters. They look like old frightening branches from horror movies, I don't know, I felt it was devilish...it's just a matter of taste,

hello Omar,
if you think about it, we are the ones who choose to percive the curls of branches as evil, in the movie Big fish, the font and of the movie title were very similar to mine and the movie was a very positive one, these branches were made by the creator who isnt evil, it makes sense to me to write in a way he chose to curve branches.

You have a point no doubt, but don't you think that when humans decide to choose a symbol for something (e.g. dead branches for evil), the chosen symbol must have something in common with the intended figure, for example if the color white, it's clean, simple, and clear, even a child (with no previouse experience) will prefer a white toy or ball, over a foggy or a dark vauge one.

Maybe if the curves and the background were all in white, maybe you'll create a positive image, forgive me. but this is how I feel ;)
have a nice day

This is a beautiful work of art. I am a student of the arts and I was admiring this piece. It looks like dancers. Like the flow of each word is moving with the next. I enjoyed seeing this work. Thank you for creating it. I don't understand the words but again this is a beautiful piece of art.
