A fantasy brush script-ish font, originally drawn by hand for a homebrew D&D setting of mine (not an easy first font project, and I did it in one day...I have the crazy, apparently). It's a loosely phoenetic alphabet, with no capital letters to speak of. Instead, the vowels with diacritical marks and the consonant clusters have been mapped to the capital and lowercase letters. Capital vowels are long vowels, and lowercase are short vowels. (Lowercase u pulls double duty as schwa and all those other hard to sort out sounds.) Consonant clusters are mapped to the capital letters they roughly correspond to; C is ch, D is dr/rd (some of these can be used backwards or forwards), G is gr/rg, H is sh, M is nd/dn, N is ng, S is st/ts, and T is th. As far as punctuation, spaces are sort of comma-ish, but I wanted to use some sort of marker for it to make it look a little more foreign at first glance. The rest of the punctuation isn't too different from what you might expect, although the heart and curly tilde are just in-jokes. ^_^;

Fantastic... Beautiful brushy shapes. It would be nice to see how this approach works with the latin alphabet. :-)

Thanks! :D I may just have to write out the real-world alphabet with a brush pen and see about building a font from it, if I have the time. ;)
