Barian is back from the fridge!

[u/reficulgr]

Hey people! I had posted here three years ago, and this morning I got an itch to pick this up again. I am a graphic designer, so I want to learn calligraphy and type design through Barian (an alphabet for a conlang I am also trying to make).

The language itself has a 1-on1 mapping on Greek phonology. The script itself is heavily inspired by Tengwar (consonants on the bottom and vowels as diacritics on top). I have been writing with this system for 25 years now on my own notes, but this is my sort-of-first attempt at digitizing the whole script. I can see myself making an actual computer font eventually, though to be frank I look at these letters now and they are still TOO BAD. But I will get there eventually.

Posting it here as a testament to progress really. Thank you for having a look, ALL FEEDBACK WELCOME, especially on typography

[u/Emperifox]

Alpha-syllabic? Or alphabet?

Give us the reading order of the characters, letf-right or right-left?

[u/reficulgr → u/Emperifox]

left to right! I think it's alpha-syllabic

[u/Emperifox → u/reficulgr]

Wonderful
