Abjoid Latinate One

This is a proof-of-concept font, just to model a script that I created. It can be used to type with, but it isn't beautiful and it isn't perfected. It is literally just a model font file to contain the basic glyph shapes and their relationships, via shared glyph elements, anchorings, etc.

This script is a hybrid script that uses the script construction of Abjoid and the Latinate letter shapes for the five base consonants. Its fundament is identical to Abjoid, but the appearance is so dramatically different that it is almost another script in itself.

For Abjoid Latinate conscript, the five base phone letters are mapped as such:

Position	Latinate glyph
lip	P
behind upper teeth	T
behind lower teeth	S
palate	C
velum	K

You can learn about my conscript Abjoid on my conscripts gitbook website: Abjoid conscript

This is a famous movie quote. Can you read it?

Info table

Name	Abjoid Latinate One
Version	1.011
Availability	Free, GitHub
Latest release	9 August 2025
Inception
Supported scripts	Abjoid conscript Indirectly: Latin, NewEng This is a script itself.
Other glyphs	Abjoid conscript glyphs are based in the of Unicode. You need a custom keyboard layout to type it. However, I have also mapped Latin letters to approximately equivalent Abjoid glyphs, so you can type in it with your regular keyboard, albeit incorrectly.

Letters

• Abjoid conscript letters: five base consonants, consonant diacritic modifiers to construct a broad array of phonetic sounds.

• Vowels are based on a vowel system attuned to my personal vowel model hypotheses.

• Indirectly supports Latin alphabet and NewEng script orthography with equivalent abjoid letters.

• Can probably support a range of other scripts, but is not tailored for them.

• Can be used to type English, but it's only functional as a cypher, because the Abjoid glyphs represent mouth positions and relative phonemes, whereas Latinate glyphs in English represent a complex (and oft broken) array of sounds and phonetic mutations.

To Do

Further development

• Vowels are currently identical to those in Abjoid base script, which is not a problem but isn't in keeping with the Abjoid Latinate conscript concept.

• incomplete aspects of the font

• diacritics, etc

• maye feature initial and final glyph forms, akin to the Arabic abjad script style.

Fixes

• include: bugs — glyphic, kerning, diacritics

Variants

• Abjoid Latinate One

  • My first foray into adapting the Abjoid conscript into Latin-based glyphs, attempting to produce a hybrid script that blends Latin letter shapes and consonant diacritics, enabling NewEng orthographic spelling.

  • Abjoid Latinate One also contains a few letter adaptations to respect the letter variants in the English alphabet, such as C-K-Q and the vowel-consonant Y.

• ideas for typeface variations -- stylistic exploration

• ideas for font variations -- weighting methods, serifs, italicization, etc
