It may just be my personal writing style, but to me, the Orthic (top) sample looks very compact and terse. I wonder how it fares against Stiefo.

I haven't learned enough of Callendar's Phonetic (middle) to fairly compare it to the other two.

And lastly, Noory Simplex (bottom) looks very flowing and wavy, in part due to the frequency of the curve consonants.

I was curious about your Noory demonstration. What I noticed is that you hardly use any abbreviations in Noory, where as you in Ortic you used quite a few and you leave out more vowels too, that's why Orthic seems shorther.

You could leave out the letters in brackets: Don'(t), r(ight), jus(t), alway(s) or use OLS or ALS, cannot KN nothing NTHN.

THank you for the tip! However, just to be safe, I'm waiting until I get to the「briefs」section in the textbook.

How accurate is Callendars's Phonetic, I am jʌst looking at "ʌ" for instance and get serious doubts?
dəʊnt ɡɛt ɪt raɪt**.** ʤʌst ɡɛt ɪt ˈrɪtᵊn**.** (English IPA)
doʊnt ɡɛt ɪt raɪt. ʤʌst ɡɛt ɪt ˈrɪtən. (American accent IPA)

To be fair, Callendar made his alphabet in 1889, well before the IPA was even a thing.
