Continuing on the theme of choosing a regular shape and making an alphabet out of it.
Looks best at smaller sizes (<24pt) and with antialiasing/ClearType turned on.
Can this be done better with filters? Probably, but I still have to learn those... :D
A written court language used by Ashrians on Bysonce Island, Planet Ashr in my video game Endless Sea of Stars. This one is used for public court documents, and its brother language Calystiphos Hand is used for private documents and old government records.
These glyphs could be considered a form of shorthand unto themselves, since each court stenographer has its own way of writing these down and its own way of abbreviating or embellishing them. Through knowledge of these glyphs, and their accompanying interpretation, one can surmise all of the important proceedings and notes.
*
Common methods for stenographers to alter these glyphs involve:
- Adding/removing quadrants
- Crossing out one or more elements in colored ink
- Drawing connecting lines between points within one or more quadrants
- Inscribing shorthand or marginalia within negative spaces
- Marking or coloring within the central circle
- Shading via different means (scribbling, crosshatching, or with colors)
- Rotating a quadrant upon its own axis
It's important to note that stenographers also often write (either in Royal Bysoncian, Sea Bysoncian or Voktlandish) in accompaniment with these symbols. The idea is for each stenographer to come up with a system of encoding that works for it. Eudastiphos Hand could thus be considered an amalgamate, interlingual cipher built from other Ashrian languages.

In terms of communication systems which exist on Earth, this is most readily compared to Nsibidi.
Pixel demake of pohang station by time.peace. Just for fun!
This started as an alien sci-fi font, but early in its development I realized it looked a lot like "pohang station". So I ended up shelving my own ideas to create this demake.
Celtic calligraphy font with spiral detailing inspired by the triskelion symbol. The concept behind the symbol and therefore the typeface is of rebirth - and more specifically the cycle of life, death and rebirth - symbolised by the spiral motifs.
The font is inspired by a 5x7 dot matrix display grid. Comment any suggestions for the font. Email me (email:jacejenius.design@gmail.com) if you want access to the font. If you use the font, please give me credit.
Latest Update: Added all Extended Latin characters. Some of these characters break the 5x7 rule, but still are on the Y axis of 7. (26/06/2022 @ 16:48)
Please note: if you request the font, you will be given a Demo font. The full font will not be given. Requesting the font in comments could result in punishment from Fontstruct, therefore you MUST email me to get the font. Checker characters mean that the character will be added. If you want to use the character and a checker appears, do not tell me to add it, it will come when I can do it. Submitting ideas on how to do it will be alot easier for me as it lets me use what I know the users want. When the font is Google Fonts Compatible it will be made a public license and put on Google Fonts. Until then, you must email be to use it. Demo font includes all characters classed as Basic Latin, along with yen, euro, cent and the currency sign (which acts in demo and full as a square.)
If it's not been touched for months, then it's finished? Well, even if it's unfinished, it can be public too.
Dots of different sizes, not touching each other (for most of the time) … took me quite some time back then
(I wouldn't be able to stick to the style, so if you need more glyphs, just clone it and do it youself ;) the license should permit this)
