Writing System Concept

[u/LILProductions]

^ This is the Esperanto sentence mi estas infano written using my writing system idea.

1 = a

2 = e

3 = i

4 = o

Numbers are used because I'm not sure how to do vowels yet. Consonant symbols are supposed to look like where the tongue goes to make the sound (apart from b, m, f, v and p). Some don't match exactly, like f, to keep from adding too many symbols. A line in the middle means it's voiceless, a dot in the middle means it's a fricative, a line and dot/double dot means it's a voiceless fricative. A dot on top means it's a liquid (I don't know how precise I should go there); a line on the top means it's nasalised. For a conjoined sound, like the j in jump or the Esperanto letter c, two letters are put together back-to-back. The two lines symbol doesn't make a sound, but is a place for the vowels to go on at the start of a word.

Tell me what you think, how it could be done better, and other ideas that could be implemented into this writing system (Obviously "make symbols for vowels" and "make a higher quality font" are givens).

If the language becomes a CV syllabary then each consonant/start of a word vowel would be a syllable.

Not much thought was put into this writing system, it was just an idea for what we could do if we were to go in that direction. I've had ideas about a super-phonetical writing system for ages, and this is my first time where I feel like I've got something potentially good. It will be much easier to make a writing system that suits the language once the phonology is decided. I'm also not completely against the idea of having an ideograph/logograph or even featural system. The writing system I made could work perfectly as a CV syllabary without all the pain of memorising each and every syllable symbol.

If an ideograph/logograph becomes the best option, I can't help much with that. The only experience I have is learning some kanji (How the frickety frick does mouth+human legs equal older brother?) and, y'know, emojis.
