Here is my first conscript font on Fontstruct. Alphabet 1 is an alphabet I created from various inspirations to function for most European languages using the Latin alphabet. This is not however the first alphabet I have created in general. I hope you enjoy the alphabet.
From my game Trap Farmer Brer Brah.
The 21 symbols of the written language used by "Eshira" - terrestrial zooid colonies amalgamated from bacterial, viral, fungal, plant, and animal components. Eshira use this language by secreting an enzyme at the top of their rocky, stromatolite-like structures, dissolving the material to reveal white glyphs. These glyphs are extremely shallow engravings, and material is removed much slower than it is added through metabolism. They are formed so that wind, rain, UV exposure, and/or wave action naturally weather them off in a day's time.
Each glyph represents an entire concept, question, plea, or rebuke. The glyph that appears depends on the eshira's environmental conditions and treatment. Intelligent creatures on Planet Fyromr read these glyphs to determine whether the fishing is good, what the weather will be like, whether their aquacultures and aquatic farms are healthy, and so on.
An eshira only etches one glyph at a time, so these symbols are only ever meant to appear one at a time. All the eshira in a particular place tend to produce the same glyph at low tide.
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.
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.
Heres an alphabet I created mostly from inspiration from the Atemayar (A, D, E, F, G, I, K, S, T, V, W) and Georgian-Nuskhuri (C, H, R, U) alphabets.
This alphabet is developed specifically for use with Kynaatt (link can be found in comments). Unlike my Atemayar Extended font, this font only covers these following letters and currency symbols:
For English: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ$
For Kynaatt: AÅÃÂBČDĎÐEĚFGĞHIJKLŁMNŇOØÕPRŘSŠTUÛVXYÝZŽ₮
(Please note this is an outdated version of the Kynaatt Alphabet)
Here is my Serif version of my Altrimaya alphabet. This alphabet is developed specifically for use with English and Kynaat (link can be found in comments). Unlike my Atemayar Extended font, this font only covers these following letters and currency symbols:
For English: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ$
For Kynaat: AÅÃÂBČDĎÐEĚFGĞHIJKLŁMNŇOØÕPRŘSŠTUÛVXYÝZŽ₮
This is a clone of Altrimaya (Revised)Here is the font for my first rendition of Altrimaya. One might notice many of these letters differ greatly from my revised and refined Altrimaya alphabet I also have featured here. I figured I should publish this one as well to let users decide which version they prefer. Hope you enjoy!
Please note however that I will likely only make fonts from my Revised Altrimaya alphabet, not this one. Regardless if the title of these other fonts includes "revised" or not, unless specifically stated that it originates from this alphabet it will always originate from Altrimaya (Revised).
Here is my rendition of the Gryirhanli Alphabet featured on Omniglot. Since the font software is rather difficult when it comes to irregular or large arcing curves, it can be said with certainty that I used quite a bit of artistic liberty in creating this font. Having worked on this font for 2 years now, I'm very happy to finally release it for all to see. I used Ch in place of C, Sh in place of X, Aa in place of Á, Ee in place of Í, Oo in place of Ú, Ai in place of Ý, and finally Th in place of Þ giving every character an equal opportunity of typability. Although the alphabet chart did not specify punctuation, I based the period off the one used in the text example (and did not include any further punctuation).
Despite using artistic liberty I do however feel this font is still accurate enough in comparison to the original that both are easily mutually intelligible with each other (such as Comic Sans vs Times New Roman for Latin).
I truly hope you enjoy this font.

Reks Fel Abugida expanded to include numbers, & more punctuation.
1-9= b, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m with a dot below. 0=z with a dot below ? is 'd' with a dot below, from the Esperanto word for question, "demando". Exclamation point is 'd' with a dot below the top line. 'C' & 'k' are 'd' with 1 & 3 dots in the middle inspired by Arabic.

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.
