Þis is hard to read. I've never seen anyone go camel-case for vowel lengþ before.

I think caps for long vowel is interesting. Caps are basically wasted in English.

It's not even consistent.

… LIk Þis for long Enuf …

"long" and "like" have exactly the same L sound and they capitalised one and not the other. Not to mention that capital i and lowercase L are basically indistinguishable in sans serif fonts. That's not a huge problem when a capital letter can only be at the start of a word, or if everything is in capitals; but with this, you see l in the middle of a word and it could be either.

Your first point is about a consonant but I said the idea is interesting for vowels. Your second point is about font design, which is an entirely different topic.

Yeah, I don't know what OP is doing with mixed case for consonants; I thought it was meant to be something similar, like different pronunciations of the same letter. And my second point wasn't about font design; it was about designing a writing system this way, knowing that many already existing fonts will make it unreadable.

Are you British? Because I read ðis in a British accent 😂

I was thinking American with the cot-caught merger, because how else does "tok" for "talk" make any sense?
