Enlarged “Peh” (cont.)

Question

Further to my recent question about the letter pey being larger in Berishis, and your response, I may have found an answer in my library! Lawrence Kushner in The Book of Letters (1975) states “The letter Pey is drawn a little larger than other letters in order that it can curl into itself without touching, and if it does, it becomes invalid. ” I also have a facsimile of a small Torah I got many years ago from Barton’s chocolates which also has large peys in the same verses I referred to!
