Constructed Scripts
(IMG) All three
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
