A quick look at the Hangul syllable table starting on page 744 of
TOS3 shows a much greater variation. If you look at the pages
slightly cross-eyed so that each glyph aligns with a neighbor, and
wink each eye alternately, you can get the effect of a blink
comparator of the type used in astronomy before computer image
processing became practical. If you can't keep the alignment while
winking, just look for the fuzzy letters where the glyphs don't match
up.
Or we could ask a typographer. :-)
