My take on the Mongolian 'Phags-pa script designed by the Tibetan monk Phagspa in 1269, based on the Tibetan script, to write Mongolian, Tibetan, Sanskrit and Chinese. This font is based on the Tibetan style which consists almost entirely of straight lines and right angles. It seemed like a prime candidate for a FontStruct treatment. I've added rounded corners and serifs to make it more visually interesting.
The script is written in vertical columns top-to-bottom and left-to-right and thus needs to be rotated 90° clockwise and the columns then reversed.
'Phags-pa was added to the Unicode standard in version 5.0 in 2006. This font however uses an ad-hoc mapping to Ascii characters which admittedly doesn't always make sense. I kind of gave up in the end and started assigning a bunch of letters to digits. Letters are connected into syllable block by a thin line (mapped to '-'), usually on the right-hand side. A straight line clashed wth the serifs so I made it into a small arch.
The script is an abugida: the vowel ‹a› is inherent in each syllable and thus not written.

This is a recent experiment on linear design. This includes all 26 letters in both upper and lower case a a small number of punctuation marks.
I wanted to try and create a stark linear script that would be easy and quick to write out in contrast with some of my more ornamental scripts.

Eshaa, the talon language, is conlang formed of sharp points and flowing lines.
This contsins captial, lower case, comma and full stop only.
Each word in the sentence should begin with a capital letter to get the full aesthetic effect.
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.

Glyphr is a combination of shapes, design and ideas which I have seen and love. The combination of then creates a very linear chicken scratch script.
Generally you should start every word with an uppercase in order to get the preparatory line, however, the script is equally effective without this.

This, as the name suggests, is a cubic version of the script helix. This variation removes all curved lines and approached the script with a box look rather than the traditional helix twist effect.
This has the same letter/punctuation as other helix variations.
Heptal is an alternative alphabet for English created by Katie Molnar. The original can be found here: http://www.omniglot.com/conscripts/heptal.htm
The original script uses overlines to identify vowels which join together when next to each other. The extended vowels á (acute) begins the join the à (grave) ends the join and the ä (diaresis) is the middle of a join - each vowel has an equivalent.
The original script also has 3 varieties of s. Use the S for the capital, the s for an s in the middle of the word and a $ for a final s.
Finally, all sentences should be started with an _ (underscore).

This is a revision of the original Imrian script (my first fontstruct).
This revision has had some significant tweaks based on what I have learnt from my other designs.
The original script was laced with a strong botanical theme and draw from the Ogham language. All sentences should begin with a ( [open bracket] to create the root symbol. Words are then typed as in english using a - [hyphen] instead of a space. For example:
(The-quick-brown-fox-jumps-over-the-lazy-dog.
Enjoy!
