That is probably why we love your work, cuz it isn't work, per se, but fun.

If I were to take the time to make an actual font of this, I don't think that would be a problem, as the lines would, er, line up. |

I agree. And it would lend it a Sanskrit feel which is a nice counter to its Arabic origins.
I think it's a winner. I saw the pattern when they were in order, but would have struggled with that second block - and if the top lines were all joined, probably would never have got it.
*edited to add: Ok, now I've seen the second page of this thread, wow. That polished font looks fantastic, and has a weight to it that make mundane words look big and important. It also has a little similarity to the little I've seen of (whatever the written language is called) Burmese.
Yeah, if you made it available, I'd sure steal it. Hmmm... maybe I can start taking notes in meetings using that script. I usually use the Cyrillic alphabet so no-one can read my stuff, but this would be even harder to figure...

JB--
How about making a font out of the Kryptonese that you created for Superman?
Speaking of the Krypton language, were you inspired by anything in particular when you created it?

I got a children's book, cyrillic, by my grandfather to learn Yugoslavian when I was little, I never learned one word and I threw it away. I remember a picture of Tito on like every page. Now I guess I know some characters, two or three from being in S:t Petersburg twice, such that C is S and P is R, no more than that. In case you actually are able to speek it and interpret it, I'm impressed.

When I first saw this font I flashed on that supposed "alphabet of the angels", Enochian.
And lo God said, "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine?".

That has to rank as one of the best anticipation/let-down sequences of all time. Thanks for making me laugh, Joseph!
