My only advice is to lower the bottom margins and add some text leading to loosen it up a bit. You might consider a thicker red line with a screen of 30 - 40%, depending on audience ( i.e., if mostly male, leave it 100% red ). A bolder rule line will make the entire document feel stronger ( you could also leave the fine rule of 100% red and add a thicker screened rule attached to the bottom of the thin rule, thus creating a bolder overall rule while maintaining the existing thin rule ). I'd experiment with different thicknesses. But, overall I like your use of white space. You just need to balance it. Add some air to your drop caps. I cannot comment on your font because I am not familiar with your language. I think if you are making a statement of flexible strength, the bold font will suffice. I'd take a look at F.L., R.R. instead of justified format just to see if that loosens it up further.
