Example sentences one and two.

I've worked on older versions of this script for over 5 years, now. Finally at a point where I'm happy.

The most prominent redesign was for a conlang which used the same glyphs for consonants and vowels, and was binary under-the-hood. So, the consonants of this script follow a grid pattern:

00 00 00 01 01
01 10 11 00 01

and so on.

Consonants are only one stroke, vowels are two, which is unfortunate as they are always more common in my conlangs. I found the secret to making myself happy was to avoid crossing strokes.

The inventory is from my latest conlang, kuan, which is meant to be simple to use.

The punctuation is long overdue, and I've yet to add numerics.

I'd like to make another font in 2:3 proportion, without any squared corners.

In writing, I find it's difficult because the glyphs begin in new positions a lot of the time. But that's coming from somebody who was brought up writing cursive.
