Needs some work but handwriting would look more interesting if letters were slightly different sizes. Inspired by this shot from Oldboy

I just remembered why I have short strokes moving away from the direction of writing in vowels lol. The reason was not very good

I may change the spelling of the “ity” suffix from ə.tii to it.ii. There’s no overwhelming reason to prefer one or the other but having t in the coda would distinguish it from the aspirated t of “manatee”
Manatee and humanity sound different… but they’re not currently spelled different in rook script… I could do something about that maybe

The song Mele Kalikimaka is interesting. It reminds me of that game where you literally translate a passage into a foreign language and back, but with phonotactics instead of semantics

Rolling this back a bit. I think maybe I’ll use something like this for titles of works but not for people or places. Basically it kind of looks like emphasis, which names don’t need
I think I will steal the interpunct capitalizer from Shavian, but use it to close capitalization as well, like quotation marks. And it’ll be a little circle like an Asian period. There will also be “capital letters” for abbreviations but they’ll mostly look like larger versions of normal letters
