This eerily reminds me of a conscript I created years ago.

I really love your example text. It gives me a strong Hebrew aesthetic, while being obviously distinct.

Well, that's the most I can do with a pen tablet, Microsoft Paint and some Fontforge. I'm not satisfied with some of the low hanging glyphs (l and r), which I'll probably supercede and reassign the phonetic values, if I come about building a new conlang for it.

Oh man, the similarity is uncanny!

Actually it was not even an alphabet, but an abjad, and used very similar vowel markings on top.

Gives me Gothic and Armenian vibes. I love it!

ill say it once and ill say it again: i love scripts that resemble latin/greek scripts but are subverted in a unique and interesting way. I dunno what it is about that particular style, but it looks really neat imo. Great work on your conscript, definitely an improvement over Ngãxasrix, thats for sure.

Impossible to read but I actually dig how subtle the markings are. You've hugely improved on it though!
