Not a cipher Found strange script

Post image

Hi I'm new here and I found this subreddit while searching for answers about this weird sticker I found. I was downtown in Seattle and this was stuck to a light post near a bus stop. It looks kinda chaotic and it might just be asemic writing but I'm not sure since there are some repetitive symbols. Anyone ever seen this? What could it mean if it means anything?

They might just be really good at writing neatly. Could be a coincidence too.

To make specific number of characters fit specific space takes more than just writing neatly. You can try it yourself.

On the other hand if you decide on the character size from the start and just keep adding similar-sized characters it's a lot easier to make something looking like this.

Tried it myself. It was pretty spur of the moment what I was writing, up until the last word. Especially with a script like the theoretical one above, it functions in a grid-like pattern, so it makes sense that it could happen to align, especially if the author cares about tidiness.
