The Symmetrical Quran
A friend of mine from Turkey shared this Mushaf with me. The calligrapher wrote each line the length of Surah Ikhlas and the pages the length of Ayat ad-Dayn. It's very similar to the standard Madinah Mushaf. The repeating words of the Quran align symmetrically on the pages in many cases, even where the divine utterance is touching on closed pages. See the example below from Surah Yasin. The entire Mushaf is available to read online here . See more interesting things like this at Serdar Kilic's blog .
