Yes, here's another example of Zhao's calligraphy for you to compare it with (in Princeton's collection):

Although the characters are tightly arranged, like your scroll, you can see how much more consistently (even rigidly) they are structured than the characters of your scroll.
The following is an example of Zhao's "running script" (in the Metropolitan's collection): freer, more simplified, more cursive, yet also maintaining a strong sense of balance in terms of individual characters and in terms of the space around each character and how they are spaced/arrayed on the page.
