       Constructed Scripts

       I love the idea of constructed languages, but unfortunately I suck
       at grammar, so my creations have never gone beyond sketches. Only
       field of conlanging that comes naturally, are the scripts. Not even
       usable scripts, just scripts without any sound nor meaning assigned
       to them. Here are some samples.
       
       The first script I created when I was about 15. It's pretty simple,
       but the trick is that consonants in the beginning and end of a
       syllable have different forms. I didn't know about smart fonts (and
       the technology wasn't really available to amateurs), so this was
       accomplished by assigning syllable-beginning letters to capitals,
       rest to lower case.

       These were made in recent times, after getting acquainted with
       Graphite, a system for adding intelligence to fonts. This allowed
       me to test various outlandishly complicated scripts. All of them
       are designed in Fontforge
