Evikræyl is the product of a sudden flash of inspiration combined with a love for calligraphy and the aggressive illumination look.
All the basic latin letters are available along with the numbers and a few punctuation marks.
Evikræyl means 'words that stay' in Kallin'Erillian the conlang this script will be used for.
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.
~ very minimalistic conscript (for numerous languages) ~
with the basic letters/sounds: «a», «h», «i», «k», «l», «m», «n», «p», «s», «t», «u» and «y» (vowel ligature consisting of «i»+«u»).
new consonants can be created with a dot above or below the consonant (subsequent «"» or «'» resp. on the keyboard), e.g. «p» + «"» = «f». to create new vowels, the existing («a», «i», «u» and also «y») can be linked together with a line («-» on the keyboard), e.g. «a» + «-» + «i» = «e».
with a subsequent short vertical lower or upper line («;» or «:» resp. on the keyboard) you can shorten/soften or lengthen/harden a letter/sound respectively.
a pause can be written with «,» and the end of a sentence with «.».
if you want to write numerals (you don't have to, if you want to keep it simple and minimalistic), you can write them with a preceding and subsequent «,» and then use the letters in between as numerals. like this: 0=a, 1=i, 2=p, 3=t, 4=k, 5=s, 6=h, 7=n, 8=m, 9=u («l» and «y» are not used). you can use the «,» also to separate numbers.

Ss => Ââ Ee => Ŵŵ Uu => Ŷŷ Kk => Ẃẃ,Ýý Ll => Ẅẅ,Ÿÿ
\ => thousands place marker | => affix separator
` => 00 ~ => 000
Left/right => Lowercase/uppercase variant:
,/< => end of sentence ./> => end of section ;/: => sentence pause
[/{ => left parenthesis ]/} => right parenthesis
-/_ => left quotation mark =/+ => right quotation mark
//? => question mark '/" => exclamation mark

This is a cloneTorcan is inspired by the Georgian Nuskhuri alphabet, but upside down. It is written latinically, rather than phonetically. Double letters can be achieved by adding a dot above or under the letter. Numerals are made with corrosponding letter with dots above and under it. A semicolon is used as a question mark, while the exclamation mark is an upside-down version of it. Torcan comes from an Irish word meaning "porcupine".
The "Kepom" script is a constructed alphabet invented by James Ong Zhi Siang for his constructed language Argusian. It is an abugida, meaning that vowels are not their own characters but are attached to consonants above and / or below. This is a recreation of it using FontStruct tools, in case someone would want to be able to use or write with it themselves. More information about the Kepom script can be found on Omniglot here.
Vykra is a conlang script based on the concept of a syllabic alphabet and inspired by plants.
The upper case is the plant body, while the lowercase is the root. As such it is necessary to write this script in alternating case (AlTeRnAtInG CaSe) so as to place an upper and lower case letter together.
The full stop symbol is used for words consisting of one letter to provide a root.
Deccan Lipi is a simplified and modernised script based on the Grantha Lipi script devised by Punya Pranava Pasumarty. It is designed for writing Sanskrit and all South Indian languages, although it can be used for most other Indian languages as well.
It can be used to write: Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and other languages of southern India (this font applies to Kannada script only)
This is a recreation of Deccan Lipi using FontStruct tools in case someone would like to write with it themselves. More information about the script can be found on Omniglot here.

Liyahu is a constructed language created by Xay Voong during the development of a role-playing video game. The core concepts are based on the trinity entities mind, body, and soul. The philosophy is elemental, rational, metaphysical, semantical, structural, straightforward, compact, and concise. Full description of the language and script can be found at http://shenafu.com/smf/index.php?topic=94.0 This font not really meant to type English, although it's not prohibited. Since the Liyahu alphabet has 36 letters, this font uses all 26 lowercase and 10 uppercase letters. It also contains all 10 digits, space, comma, and period. The percent sign shows the official Liyahu logo, with all trinity symbols in their proper places: mind at top, body at left, and soul at right.
A combinatorial conlang whose symbols find many uses.
This is the written language of early Azwelke people from Planet Ashr in my game Endless Sea of Stars. The symbols are called "Moon Runes" (both pejoratively and not), and each represents a cluster of phonemes. The language is similar to Katakana Japanese in that written words are sounded out. Proper nouns cannot be written in Moon Runes, and so such nouns rely on Old Azwelkeland Script to be committed to record.
The Wolves of Euphedora still use these symbols as part of their own hidden language, here called "RZ". Since this cipher invents no new characters, these Moon Runes can be used to write RZ as well.
These symbols are also still used in modern Ashrian astrology. Their designations below reflect this fact.

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.
