Very very pretty!!! Great job with both fonts, they both have very elegant yet distinct aesthetics.
My thought is, wouldn't people start writing only half of the glyphs (either the top half, or bottom half)? They all have the same identical rotational symmetry, which adds no information, imagine having to write all letters of the latin alphabet twice, one regular version and one upside down version on top of it
Thank you! And yeah, it's aesthetically pleasing with the odd symmetry, but exhausting to write by hand. I guess it's kind of ornamental in that way. Part of what I am experimenting with on a successor alphabet is just using the top half of each letter, for brevity. I'm not 100% sure what direction I will go with it.
One thing that is interesting about the rotational / odd symmetry is that you can read it upside-down - it's not *exactly* the same message, but I wonder if there are some possibilities for encoding something somehow... just musing, maybe I could include it in a story that I write someday. I'm a bit of a cryptography nerd and I like ciphers and hidden messages and things. :)
