View submission: Progress on Ainu script font
I'm honestly not sure how to categorize it lol. Because in creating this, even though I tried to keep the glyphs as simple as possible, my number one priority was aesthetics. I wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing and I wanted it to resemble actual Ainu art, specifically Ainu embroidery designs on their traditional clothes. So in doing that, what I ended up with is a system where some letters reverse their direction depending on if they're at the beginning or end of a word, and some letters connect to each other and others don't. It's not a pure syllabary like katakana because there's consonants separate from vowels, but I'm also not sure if "alphabet" accurately describes it either.
There's nothing here!
