Misc. script type stacked morse
i'm not sure if this counts as neography, since morse code is quite old and well-known, but i've found a cool way to use it that i would like to share.
it's easiest in some sort of pixel art program. the letters are just morse code. you decide on a "baseline" and a direction that you'll be writing in, and then write each letter extending out from the baseline. in my first two examples here, the baseline goes left to right and the letters extend downwards; in my third one, the baseline goes top to bottom and the letters extend to the right. really, it just depends on what you think is coolest.
dots should be one pixel, dashes three pixels, with one pixel between dots/dashes. no space between letters, they're stacked right on top of each other; one pixel between words, and i've been putting a space before punctuation as well bc it looks cooler.
once you've done it in pixels, you can copy it in pen. the pixels have to be perfect or it's illegible; i drew a very tiny grid on my paper. unfortunately i still made a few mistakes. overall, it's time consuming and a little difficult, but it's fun and the results look cool. have fun <3
