As such, I've voted other because I think Copperplate (flows beautifully), Gothic (can be very elaborate) and Celtic (looks extraoridarily serene - Welsh written in this style looks fab) styled writing are all equally lovely.
IMO Arabic looks ugly and incomprehensible: it's just horizontal lines with swiggles and dots. The same goes for pictographic alphabets, they're all utterly incomprehensible; Oriental ones look like random lines... I probably only think they're ugly because I can't read them though.
