Beauty / Readabiliy

Muṣḥaf Muscat (top) and ʿUṯmān Ṭaha (bottom) look better than the KFE (middle),
but are not always easier to read.
The main problem I see in the Amīriyya set KFE after rāʾ/zai and waw, and before kaf within words. Often (not always) there is too big a space within words.

How can I be sure that Muḥammad Ālī Ḫalaf a-Ḥusainī al-Ḥaddād did not reconstruct the writing of his muṣḥaf, the 1924 KFE,
