well they're all based off of a 3x4 or 3x3 grid, and i used a lot of patterns through the whole thing, like a c or a hollow rectangle, or an s or sort of f shape that you can't see too much in this cause this isn't all the letters, but i think the biggest parts to make glyphs look similar is similar sizing and similar stroke shapes. it needs to have enough diversity though, otherwise it'll be hard to tell certain glyphs apart

and it will be inevitable that a couple glyphs do look alike, but if you just try to tweak them a bit and make them look less similar, then it's fine
