I created a crappy Fontstruct font just over ten years ago and have been dealing with it since. Yesterday I finally learned how to use Fontforge and here are the results!

The text in the sample:
“Hello friends! I'm himanshu. I'm a member of neography. I love how everyone here is so creative. Thank you.”

Here is the second block-sheet of Sigaen, I’m going to do a third one too when the time comes.
The reason I’m doing this is because it’s kind of a visual exercise for my brain and it helps me to wrap my head around how each glyph should look.
I messed up a few things in the last one; the one that most bothers me is my mistake in giving “eye” a “person thing” radical when it’s meant to be a root word (a word that doesn’t need any modifiers to convey it’s meaning)
That being said this is my first logography and I still have much more to learn.
Come to think of it; I may have thrown myself in the deep end with this one XD

Ever since I saw a post from u/iamdiego21 showing the iberian runes from the 5th to 3rd century bc (I think), I've been investigating about how they work and wondered how they would've evolved had they not been replaced by the latin alphabet. This is the result of that investigation. I used the non-dual northeastern iberian script because of Tarraco being the base of operations for the Roman conquest of Hispania, and if they were willing to have a new script for the province, it would be the one they had the most contact with.
The text I use to expose the script starts with a catalan pangram, and then adds another sentence to show the rest of the syllabary:
"Despús-ahir el pingüí bèl·lic atenyé aïrat l'emú esquifit i menjà zelós xoriç, òvid i kiwi. En una cita a un poble cacerenc amb un pamplonés iruñés, glados agafà una copa a tutiplén"
In case someone is curious about the meaning of the text, it's: The day before yesterday an aggressive penguin got angrily to the thin emu and ate jealously chorizo, egg-based and kiwi. At a date in a village in Caceres with an iruñés man from Pamplona (Pamplona is Iruña in basque), glados rose a glass plentifully.

I want to make a syllabary with ~120 unique characters for my upcoming conlang, and i'm not really feeling the artist in me. I don't know how i want my symbols to look or feel. Could you maybe share how you made your syllabaries, or atleast give tips on how to make one look unique? Thank you in advance

From a shield... to a wheel.
How different root words from two languages ended up meaning a lot of things; not to mention, but the root \*krakhug also gave the word for "plate, flat bowl" in Qē (*kạkū* /ka˧ku˩/).
Two different language families are sharing the North-Eastern lands of Vaosko and the Slekkan archiepelago (also natively called Phuẓúṣų́ in Ṇaka): the Uᵹhūde languages, whose ancestor language is Qheon, an uvular-heavy language, and the Kųngikk languages, descendants of Ikungikkak, a language whose clusters might just make any linguist trying to reconstruct them completely crazy.
The script used here is called Qhwasi, ᵹynou or ḍỹou. It is mainly an Uᵹhūde based script, but as time went, it spread eastward, even though it was stopped by the Quantaans (unseen on this map, in the southern grey area). It's a font. (I use Illustrator and Fontforge, if you are wondering). It is a descendant of the Aqhrobvian script, even though i haven't mapped the links correctly between the glyphs yet. It is also partially influenced by Sker, a script more known to the Skerzdid peoples.
Thank you for taking a look at my work, let me know what you think of it, i'll be happy to read your feedback!
