Letters

The NewEng script (mine, not another by the same name), includes all 26 English alphabet letters, plus another 15 borrowed from other scripts and eras.

To Do

Further development

  • Basic diacritics beyond macron (aΜ„ eΜ„Μ„ iΜ„ oΜ„ uΜ„).

    • At least do the upward accent.

    • Needs many diacritics for full NewEng support.

  • Numerals

    • Dozenal

    • Dot-count numerals (originated in BlockTrain) β€” learn how to include alternative number figures in font files.

  • Punctuation

  • Common symbols

Fixes

  • The glyph for ΕŠΕ‹ unintentionally looks like two stacked Ns, which could be misinterpreted as Ññ.

  • Not enough kerning has been done, especially with the small vowels like A and O.

  • Narrow, vertical glyph edges perhaps should be kerned further apart, else they visually merge.

  • The space glyph is too wide.

Variants

  • A rougher, weathered version, where the edges of the letters are uneven, and the corners are soft.

  • A fluid version, handwritten glyphs derived from the rune shapes:

    • a) by mimicking the shapes;

    • b) by considering the "stroke order" methodology of how runes were/might have been drawn.

NewEng alphabet, with gaps for missing glyphs (Ζ•, ΠΈ, Ε“, ꝏ)
These are pretty messy right now. Γ¦Μ„ and Θ£Μ„ were not considered at all.

All sample words include letters from the .
