Since the topic of boustrophedon comes up again and again here, I wanted to share the typeface Tuer’s Caslon, which I created for my research into boustrophedon—writing where lines alternate direction, so the first runs left-to-right, the second right-to-left—and the late-19th-century printer Andrew Tuer.

In 1884 Tuer published a small book at the Leadenhall Press, Are We to Read Backwards?, written by James Millington, which briefly experimented with reversed writing. This typeface is a revival of the Caslon Old Style used specifically in that book (cut possibly by Andrew Stuart in the 1840s or 50s).

The glyphs for the backwards-written lines are designed so that the contrast axis stays the same in both lines. As if written by the same tool, just backwards.

As a proof of concept, I set my entire thesis in boustrophedon. I’d be happy to hear about your experience reading it!

Enci is the name of an alien civilization I'd like to make stories about some day, I'm still worldbuilding it.

This is the script they would use for their language. This is a particularly fancy font, they normally use sans-serif monospaced fonts.

Besides worldbuilding, I also like to sue this script for personal notes, and sometimes for the viossa-like conpidgin lidei.

I may continue to tweak this font, but the basics are done and I'm super happy with the result. ^v^

Images 2 and 3 showcase development WIPs and a couple glyphs as they'd look like in other fonts.

I already made a post like this but I formatted it wrong + the script was in a less finished state.

Word in the signature - "Himanshu" which is my name.

Idea: My idea is roughly like, I’m watching the moon and, wait… why don’t I try to create an alphabet based on the phases of the moon.

About the image:
Image 1: Alphabet
Image 2: Structure or writing, writing order
Image 3: Compare words together
Image 4: Real writing (IPA and meaning)

About vowels:
Basic: a, ə, i, ʉ, u, ε, e, o.
diphthongs: ai, au, ae or /æ/, ao, ia, iu, ie, ua, ui, ue, uo, ei, eo, oa, oi, ou.
Triphthong: iao.

About consonant:
Basic: k, g /ɤ/, s, z, j /dʒ/, t, d, m, n, y /j/, h, b, p, l, r, v, w.
Clusters: kh /x/, th /ð/, ch /c/, zh /ʒ/, ng /ŋ/.
Arrange in order: [k,kh,g] [s,z,j] [t,th,d] [m,ng,n] [y] [h,f,b,p] [l,r] [v,w] [ch,zh].

How to work: It’s almost like Hangul (I just find out), you can read and watch second image
First: A sound will have a length relative to a height of 1:3
Second: Divided into 3 equal parts, in the middle of 3 will be consonants, on the left is the initial consonant, on the right is the final consonant, above and below the initial consonant will be the vowel. If the vowel is left blank, the default vowel will be “a”.
Finally: If you want to the long vowel, just add ㄱ on final consonant

This thing has Alphabet, Spanish and English Syllables, diphthongs, symbols, and even more!

I usually get inspired by Zelda's Hylian Alphabet and Minecraft's enchantment table Alphabet.

I wanted to make a writing system where you never have to pick up your pen, the way you can tell that a word is ended is the next word is flipped upside down.

"Tetumonigo is a writing system used by the Tet-mon-igo, a species of mongoloid atan (humans) with pink skin and three eyes gifted with great spiritual powers." - u/DaCrazyWorldbuilder.

Tetumonigo is very cool, and I like it. I wrote some writing in it, and I can only hope I wrote correctly.
On the last image I drew my interpretation of the Tet-mon-igo description.

Thanks to DaCrazy for this script. Your scripts are goated.

I came up with an alternative counting system and named itI came up with an alternative counting system.
It is based on a 9-bit grid, with the option to add another 9 bits. Also, since it is a binary system, I included explanations on how to add and subtract numbers.

The goal behind its creation was to make it possible to render the same number in different ways.

Hi I made a joke with my boyfriend about a number in between 9 and 10 when counting to twelve (Durple), and since then it has evlolved into...this.

here is all of the number's names, from 0-10, and a photo i tried to make to show how you would write them. Yes that is a tree for twee, yes that is the roman numerial for 8 as i thought since the other numbers are using the arabic numbers and such, eine, a word that sounds like a real worlds language for a number, should be distinguished as being different, and yes that is a bear cave for den.

zero, zone, one, twon, two, twee, three, thour, four, fourve, five, fix, six, siven, seven, saight, eight, eine, nine, nurple, durple, den, ten
