u/Emergency-Quote-7321

Kia Ora again everybody! These are the almost complete versions of my cypher posters and their accompanying poems.

I firstly wanted to say a huge thank you to everybody who commented on my previous post, the support of people in this comunity is a great motivator!

There were quite a few mistakes and inconsistencies in the previous versions of these posters, hopefully they should be more polished now! I am certain there will still be some errors though. At this point I have stared at these for so long, I can no longer see the woods for the trees!

The reddit community tend to be great at QC so I figured this time I would ask for your help in picking up the errors if you spot any! Please keep in mind that Graphic Design is something I am still very much trying to learn. Also, the 'poems' are mostly just bad stuff I wrote myself, it is not meant to be serious or academic!

Feel free to comment if you spot a mistake that nobody else has commented on :)

• LandLynes, SpyraLynes and MycoLynes are all 'complete'.
• I am still unhappy with the formatting of SkyLynes and LoopLynes, particularly their poem posters! Any suggestions here?
• The previously named "BettenScript" is now called "Colymns" - Bonus points if anyone can name the franchise this quote is from!
• ElectroLynes could still use some work I think, any suggestions for formatting the poem poster?
• The same goes for AstroGraph I think.
• GridLynes is still incomplete and I have yet to start the poem poster.

Thank you all in advance for the feedback :)

PS. Some people asked for .otf or font files, I still have not polished these completely so I do not want to post them yet, I will get there eventually!

An updated (and incomplete) infographic for one of my scripts -- MycoLynes. I am in the process of making some of my custom scripts and cypers into posters on Canva to display in my apartment. Still learning Canva as you can see.

I'm thinking about also translating some of my poetry into my scripts and displying it alongside the accompanying infographic to decypher.

I will post the completed posters on this r/ when they're done :)

An iconographic writing system/syllabary for a conlang I've been working on. This is still very much in early development and not completed - hence all the blank spaces in the tables. I'm working on the syntax but haven't quite developed it enough to post here yet.

If anyone has any suggestions for meanings of the unnamed glyphs - I am open to them! Ideally the meaning will relate to the parent glyph(s) in some way. For example, B = Food and A = Sun/Light, while BA = Eat. Likewise, C = Tree/Plant and E = Earth/Land, giving CE = Forest/Wood. The combinations aren't necessarily literal compounds — I'm aiming for meanings that feel semantically/intuitively related to both parent glyphs.

Feel free to pick just one blank glyph that jumps out at you :)

*Reiterating this is still very much a WIP, so some blanks, inconsistencies and typos are expected!

A wee cypher I finished up a while ago. Happy with how this one turned out (if you can look past the phallic undertones-I swear its just the nature of mushrooms). I enjoyed doing the insects so much, it has me thinking about a potential Entolynes script...

Which glyph is your favourite?

So satisfying when cims actually park in them! Sad react for the last one :(

I recently downloaded some parking surfaces and they really elevate the custom lots! But I am curious... do the mobilty parking space decals & electric car decals actually effect what cars park there?

An update on my latest cypher, SpyraLynes. Definitely aesthetically my favourtie script I have created, but I am beyond over it and ready to move onto my next script.
Eventually (probably not soon so please don't ask) I will encode this to a website where you can generate your own SVG images/messages for free :)

A wee conscript I started digitising into FontLab today. Full lexicon to come later! Open to suggestions for names--DymondLynes is just the working title but I think I would like to stick with the naming convention of ending my custom scripts with -Lynes

Another Cypher I have been playing around with for fun. Still very much incomplete and not polished, but I am liking the look so far. Full lexicon (and hopefully font life) to come soon!

Two versions of my latest simple cypher - SkyLynes. Those of you who saw the post of my previous script (LandLynes) may recognise some common features!

I tried to keep things even more simple with this one - each letter of the english alphabet is substituted for a glyph of a building. Capitals are the same as their lowercase equivalents but with an ariel/antenna included on their roof.

I was unsure about the punctuation for this one at first, but I am reasonably happy woth how it turned out. I still need to do some fine-tuning of their thickness and relative positions etc.

I made the "block" version first, thinking I would like the simple sketch verson better, but seeing them side by side I think I do prefer the block version. The glyphs of the two versions are essentially the same except the Sketch version has undifferentiated capitals, and all it's glyphs all have the same 'ground' level. The sketch version is far less polished in general so save yourself the trouble in pointing out the flaws in the screenshots-I am aware!

I haven't come up with proper names for the "Block" and "Sketch" versions yet -- suggestions welcome here! I would ideally like names that stick with the city theme (hence 'block' but I don't love that name).

My latest conscript "LandLynes" - a very simple cypher inspired by natural skyline features.

After my last script which was my most complex yet, I felt like returning to something simple, and the result was this simple elegant cypher.

I am working on a companion script call "SkyLynes" which is similar but uses artificail/manmade obects in the syline in stead of natural features. The result is sentences that look like cityscapes rather than naturescapes - stay tuned for that one!

If you're intested in installing this as a font on your PC/Laptop, flick me a message and I will send you the font file to download (installation only takes 2 clicks).

It still needs some final polishing for double and standalone vowels, but I am interseted in your thoughts so far :)

• Cyclonic so far with a few examples generated from the custom python engine I built speficially for this. I'm working on getting it ready for upload to github so anyone can generate their own diagrams (& translations) from plain latin text. I will also have a .otf file available soon, although it isn't hugely useful as microsoft office software is not capible of generating the complex syntax.
• The more I get into conlanging the more I feel compelled to create complexity in my creations - this is my most complex yet!
• I'm still not sold on the name - open to suggestions there!
• If you have a word/sentence you would like me to generate for you, let me know :)

Something I've been working on.

This script uses alphabetic elements but combines consonant-vowel pairs into single syllabic glyphs arranged in a geometric triangular layout.

Full alphabet and syntax to come later. I also have a custom python complier specifically for this which translates from english-I will eventually post that too.

My working title is "Cyclonic" or "Cycloom" any better ideas??

Kia Ora Neographers,

This is another cypher I have been working on. Just for fun this time. It is a simple cypher of the English alphabet where letters are substituted for planets, presented around a central star.

As you can see it is still a work in progress, I still need to develop the punctuation.

I know it's not strictly accurate from an astronomy/cosmology perspective. I prioritised aesthetics rather than committing to hard science - this is the oppositte of how I usually operate so it made things interesting at least!

I always design my Cyphers in Fontlab8, which I have also done in this case, but I have not included any images in here due to the limitation of strictly vertical or horizontal scripts in the software. I think the words look better when drawn by hand in OneNote, as shown in the screenshots.

Interested in your thoguhts!

Hello (again) fellow neographers*,

I am somewhat new to the world of neography/cyphers/conlanging but this is one of my first attempts at creating a basic cypher. My initial interest in this came from wanting to invent a new alphabet for a sci-fi novel I am writing. I didn't want to overcomplicate things too much on my first attempt, so this script is a simple cypher of the english alphabet and essentially follows the same gramatical rules.

I have created the glyphs in Fontlab, so it is available as a fully functional 'font' file that can be imported into any microsoft software and used digitally.

Interested in your thoughts!

*please forgive my earlier post where I forgot to attach the images, I'm also new to posting on reddit
