The Shavian or Shaw alphabet is named after George Bernard Shaw and was devised by Kingsley Read. Shaw saw use of the Latin alphabet for writing English as a great waste of time, energy and paper, so in his will he stipulated that a competition should be held to create a new writing system for English and made provision for a prize of £500. The competition took place in 1958 and Kingsley Read's system was chosen as the winner out of the 467 entries.
This font is heavily inspired by the Shavian alphabet. I had to create several of the letters, to flesh out the entire alphabet.
LETTERS ONLY!
