Conlanger + viral meme font program:

It was the first thought I had when I saw Your Fonts going around. I mean, what else you gonna do with it?

This was the only complete script I have that really worked on this program. The others are either vertical, cursive, otherwise spatially inhibited, some combination of the above, or logographic.* Except Galactic Common, but I think I lost the notebook that one was in, so I’m going to have to start over. Damn.

This is the arhodes’ most common language, Rredŕa. (Ghil’s native language, for anyone who has read my stuff with him in it.) It’s written right-to-left, and thus I wrote it backwards—yes, those big dots aren’t bullet points, they’re periods. This language does things with finality. The first line is the alphabet; the second numbers, which work the same as Arabic numerals. (Their math is base 8.)

The sentences read:
Spikiki kihei ke.
Ulye ghramovne kihei ke?
Ulye alash ke kihei fandrimŕl.
Pei, ulyi zandrorris shia ashfyızhi oliefıl.


The fourth line means “Now you’re just making things up.” And first three? Well:

Don’t laugh. I really do make the long overdone f’s when I write. I also join a lot of letters to my e’s, so this isn’t completely accurate. But still, not too far off my handwriting.


*I also have a thing for scripts that are half-cursive, so that vowels or consonants or whatever look like diacritics.
