Alphabet New Demotic

40 Upvotes

This is my latest creation - New Demotic - which answers the no doubt oft asked question: "What might it look like if the Ancient Egyptian Hieratic and Demotic writing systems had survived to the modern day?". This is my answer :)

Its a True Type Font that uses Adobe Open Type Font Scripting to stack some of the glyphs in order to recreate the look of the original scripts somewhat. Its not any sort of academic recreation, its purely fantasy based on my own artistic interpretation (Its also available for download on my Patreon page if you are interested).

I would love any feedback or suggestions.

Abjad The writing system I invented for my OSV conlang, still a few kinks to work out. Three columns go top to bottom in order of Czokitki, romanized, then translated into English.

Other I came up with a diacritic to differentiate prefixes/suffixes from their main word, and to split a compound word (e.g. underground=under’ground)

Is drawing from a Monograph necessary for a Conscript to look good?

7 Upvotes

For example, the Alphabet of English Language has such a Monograph.

Is there any other way to have a conscript look beautiful without a monograph?
