This is, in fact, a script for Morse code. Dots are like a cursive i, and dashes are above or below the line. Multiple dash letters P and J have doubled loops. Still a work in progress, numbers and punctuation to come.

My take on the Mongolian Horizontal Square script designed by Mongolian spiritual leader Zanabazar to write Mongolian, Tibetan and Sanskrit. It's based on the Tibetan script. The script consists mostly of straight lines and right angles and seemed like a prime candidate for a FontStruct treatment. I've added rounded corners and serifs to make it more visually interesting.
The script has been accepted by the Unicode Technical Committee for inclusion in a future version of the Unicode standard*. This font uses an ad-hoc mapping to Ascii characters: upper case for aspirated plosives, 'f' and 'q' for retroflex plosives and a lot of mappings that make even less sense as I started to run out of Latin letters. The mapping is based on Sanskrit and Tibetan; Mongolian uses some characters differently. However, the font does not do stacked consonants required by the two former.
The script is an abugida: the letter ‹a› is inherent in each consonant letter and the vowel is then modified using diacritics. Initial vowels are written with a special letter, mapped to 'A', that's wider than the rest and has its own set of diacritics, mapped to digits 0–9.

The Namak script was originally derived from a logographic script and used for the language of Namariehak around 5000 years ago, but has since then spread and has become the most widely used script on Notasami. It is a bicameral, alphabetic script that uses a base-10 number system. This is a sans-serif, simple font along with the four Santieng diacritics.
My second attempt at a font for the Marchen script, a Brahmic script used in the Tibetan Bon tradition to write the extinct Zhang-zhung language. It can also be used to write Tibetan. It supposedly originated in the Zhang-zhung kingdom prior to the introduction of Tibetan Buddhism in the 7th century, but no texts from that time using the script are known.
Marchen was added to the Unicode standard in version 9 released in June 2016. This font uses an ad-hoc ASCII mapping though. It doesn't handle stacked consonants which makes it rather useless. :P
This design uses the same rounded corners and serifs as my 'Phags-pa and Zanabazar Square fonts. The letters come in three widths. Combined with the medial 'y' there's a total of four widths that the vowel diacritics need to accommodate, which is a manageable number.
This is a font for a new writing system called Qugu.
Qugu is really cool, because the letters go together and the SPACE is different from most fonts.
Currently, it is only compatible with Latin letters, and no accents yet.

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.
My first attempt at the Kayah Li script used to write Kayah Li spoken in Burma/Myanmar and also in Thailand. It was created by Htae Bu Phae in 1962. I based my design on the relatively blocky font used over on Omniglot. I'm not that happy about the result though. Letters were made on a 9×11 grid which allowed me to make vertical lines thicker than horizontal. It makes for very blocky letters though. I was hoping to create something similar to my Tai Le font but the letters simply didn't lend themselves to the same level of fluidity.
Kayah Li was added to the Unicode standard in version 5.1 in 2008. This font however uses an ad-hoc mapping to Ascii characters. The only real oddity are the tone markers mapped to 'f', 'j' and 'q'.
The script is a true alphabet with all vowels written out. There are however only four vowel letters: ‹a›, ‹oe›, ‹i› and ‹oo›. The rest are written as ‹a› plus a diacritic.
The Namak script was originally derived from a logographic script and used for the language of Namariehak around 5000 years ago, but has since then spread and has become the most widely used script on Notasami. It is a bicameral, alphabetic script that uses a base-10 number system. This is a serifed version of the script resembling the original, traditional way of writing it, and includes the four Santieng diacritics.
This font is made for a special script I created. Readable characters appear, only if you write in the order Ccbv, where the syllables look like Cvc.
C means a uppercase consonant, c means a lowercase consonant, v means a vowel and b is binding ("(/){|}[\]"). Numbers are in base 12, with the digits being "0123456789.,", a comma is written like ' and a full stop like ''.
c=Palatal lateral approximant,
q=Uvular trill,
r=Alveloar trill,
w=Bilabial trill,
x=Velar nasal,
y=Mid central vowel.
<=uppercase glottal stop
>=lowercase glottal stop
If you follow the writing rules, you might be able to write a word, such as
H>}aVs{o = /havos/
or
F>{oNt|ySt|yR>|aKt}y = /fonytsytrakyt/
