THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS FONT HAS BEEN RESUMED.
A simple and clean (10 px in width × 20 px in height) Unicode pixel/bitmap font, inspired by Unifoundry's Unifont typeface project.
This project is still very in-progress of making so it'll be a while until an actual release is made.
If you have any improvement ideas or reports on any incorrect glyphs, please tell me by commenting. I don't have much experience in designing glyphs for non-latin, especially symbol characters, so any help is greatly appreciated.
===================================
You are currently looking at version v.0.9-10-24 of Bitern Mono (previously named Bitern Unicode).
Obviously this is just a pixelized form, if anyone would like to make a smoothed out version, be my guest, and let me know when you finish!
This is a phonemic alphabet, although it does not account for glottal stops, etc.
[pP] = pig
[bB] = big
[f] = fine
[v] = vine
[F] = thin
[V] = then
[T] = bats
[s] = bass
[z] = is
[t] = ten
[dD] = den
[cC] = witch
[S] = wish
[j] = verge
[Z] = version
[kK] = cot
[gG] = got
[mM] = might
[n] = night
[lL] = gall
[N] = gong
[hH] = hello
[e] - bet
[A] - bait
[o] - bought
[a] - bat
[i] - bit
[O] - boat
[u] - but
[E] - beet
[U] - boot
[r] - burn
[I] - bite
[W] - bear
[R] - bar
[Q] - bow
[w] - bore
This is a code I invented.
Many of the capital letters are redundant to the lowercase equivalent:
B,F,G,J,K,M,O,P,Q,V,W,Y,Z
To type a standard letter, the keys are:
a,[bB],c,d,E,[fF],[gG],H,i,[jJ],[kK],l,[mM],N,[oO],[pP],[qQ],R,S,t,u,[vV],[wW],x,[yY],[zZ]
......................................
Some letters or letter combinations can be written as accents over other letters (meaning never use these at the beginning of a word) to save space:
"e" = e; "h" = h; "he" = T; "ly" = L; "n" = n;
"r" = r; "s" = s; "ing" = G; "es" = X;
......................................
There are a few special rules:
-the 'r' accent can represent "er" but only at the end of a word
-o + [a,i,or u] can be written as one character:
"ou" = oU; "oa" = oA; "oi" = oI;
-the above rule also applies to "qu", which can be typed as qU;
-if a letter would be doubled, an accent is written under it to save space: "tt" = t`; "oo" = o`; etc.
-if an accent would be doubled, an accent is written under its base letter to save space: "inn" = in~; "bee" = be~; etc.
......................................
Only one accent can be below a character and one above. If any conflict, write the word in the most efficient way possible without any conflicts. If there is more than one equally efficient way to write a word, follow these rules:
-"e" has precedence - "ben" would be written beN, not bEn
-if ^ does not solve, just write the first letter as an accent rather than the second - "cans" would be canS, not caNs
-if there is a double [e,r,s,or n], only use ` or ~ to show it: never write "bee" as beE, only be~; never write "knee" as kNeE, only knE`;
......................................
if anyoNe finds a word that bReaks tT above RulX, let me know. also, fe~l frE` to cloNe tT font and make a Non-pixelized veRsion of it. if yoU do, let me know!
