font for an international conscript i made
pretend the diacritics line up nice (thats not rly something you can do in fs)
au β/bʰ tsʰ ɖ ei tˁ ɡʰ ʕ ai dʒ kʰ ʎ dʒʰ ɳ ou ɸ/pʰ ʔ r sˁ ʈ ɚ dˁ ʷ tɕʰ ʲ ðˁ a b ts d e f ɡ h i j k l m n o p q ɾ s t u v w x y z
(marks used at the start of passages denoting writing direction as it depends on what side theyre on, the one with an extra loop means boustrophedon)
ɖʰ ʈʰ ă ɔ ɛ/æ tʃʰ ð/dʰ ɲ ø θ/tʰ tɕ tʃ dʑ ħ ŋ ɕ ʃ ʑ ʒ ɤ ɨ ə ɣ dz
the other diacritics are tones that are same as Vietnamese but the caron is same as Pinyin, tilde can also be used for nasalization and macron for length

im thinking of reworking this script. for example the glyph for bʱ being a beta like thing even tho thats never used for bʱ outside the ipa when its mainly there cuz of indo-aryan languages so maybe it should be based on भ or something like that instead
this also concerns the pʰ glyph (is /ɸ/ ever distinct from /f/ in that many languages anyway) and maybe the θ/tʰ glyph. another letter im not so sure about is the ă letter, tho its not the letterform so much as the letter existing at all. its only there cuz of vietnamese but there may be a better way to handle it? i felt it would be awkward if a was the only vowel that had a macron version as a separate vowel that would need to stack with the tone diacritics (i forget how the diacritics were handled for thai)
and also i could just expand more on the script to cover more of the world's languages :) i dont think this was ever really a focus for me hence how underdeveloped it is
the font itself is good tho
The Ewe language of Togo (spoken by around 5 million people) does distinguish ƒ /ɸ/ from f /f/, as well as ʋ /β/ from v /v/.
