A project I've been working on for some time that combines a readable writing system with a means of creating decorative streams of symbols, allowing for practical or artistic use. It is designed to be writable in the same way as English, with a couple key differences:
end of sentence within a thought:
. = SPACEBARx2
? = ?SPACEBAR
! = !SPACEBAR
end of thought:
. =SPACEBAR-
? = ?-
! = !-
end of paragraph:
. = .
? = ?-
! = !-
numbers:
numbers at the beginning of a sentence = ###-SPACEBARtext
numbers at end of sentence = textSPACEBAR-###SPACEBAR-
Use as applicable to avoid numbers and letters bleeding into each other.
For purely artistic streams of writing, Start every sentence with a capital, skip spaces, and use '-' as a period. This allows for a smooth bar of symbols without any random bits jutting out that can be used for framing or backgrounds.
Beringin Tulis is a minimalist rendition of the constructed Beringin script created by Adam Damario in 2017. A documentation by its creator can be read here (in Indonesian and English), while a documentation by Omniglot can be read here (in English).
Besides having stylized letterforms, I've added a reduplication sign in order to write Indonesian and Malay words more efficiently. In addition to that, this rendition of the Beringin script doesn't have letters for foreign sounds (/f q v ʃ x z/) as this rendition is intended to write Austronesian words only.
Beringin Ukir is a serif rendition of the constructed Beringin script created by Adam Damario in 2017. A documentation by its creator can be read here (in Indonesian and English), while a documentation by Omniglot can be read here (in English).
The letters are made separated from one another, unlike the original verison in which each letters are connected, to emphasize its serif property. I've also added a reduplication sign in order to write Indonesian and Malay words more efficiently. In addition to that, this rendition of the Beringin script doesn't have letters for foreign sounds (/f q v ʃ x z/) as this rendition is intended to write Austronesian words only.
*Note: the first few lines of the preview is a romanization. The "proper" font consists of the triangle, parabola, and diamond-like shapes in the bottom half*
A revised script of my alien conlang "cimar" Built with Apple's Hebrew QWERTY in mind, though if you are comfortable with the standard Hebrew layout you should have little trouble as long as you keep in mind the four characters which are used for non-standard sounds.
This script is a semi-featural abjad/abugida hybrid inspired by. Read right-to-left, consonants appear as main glyphs while vowels are diacritics which hang above that follows it. of the glyph determines place of , and diacritics inside of the glyph represent manner. The numbers are in hexadecimal and bound to latin characters (1-9, A-F). Like Hebrew, they are read least-to-greatest place value.
Here are the correspondances with Hebrew characters, their latin transcriptions, and a few IPA symbols where the glyphs make a different sound than in Hebrew and/or English.
