Translation to-from lidei is not allowed (it's a viossa-like) so if you wanna understand these you'll have to join the project eheheheh ~
I do hope that at least some of them are funny even out of context though.
Enci is the name of an alien civilization I'd like to make stories about some day, I'm still worldbuilding it.
This is the script they would use for their language. This is a particularly fancy font, they normally use sans-serif monospaced fonts.
Besides worldbuilding, I also like to sue this script for personal notes, and sometimes for the viossa-like conpidgin lidei.
I may continue to tweak this font, but the basics are done and I'm super happy with the result. ^v^
Images 2 and 3 showcase development WIPs and a couple glyphs as they'd look like in other fonts.
I already made a post like this but I formatted it wrong + the script was in a less finished state.
Some of you may remember Lidei, it was for some time one of the biggest conpidgin groups made in the wake of the ethymologynerd video that viralized viossa and its imitators.
Well, Lidei is still going, with a small but amazing core of skilled speakers!

"Enci" is the name of an alien civilization I made that I like to use for my stories, this is the script their language would use. I also use this script for personal notes and, sometimes, I toy with it in the conpidgin lidei.
First image is a test for the characters for /c/ and /θ/ in various fictional fonts, and then a few words in lidei with an embarassing ammount of typos in a font meant to be "times new roman"-ish.
The second image is some more serious work in progress development of this font.
I am developping this as right to left text, with subsequent lines being written below previous ones, but the aliens that would use this script would be used to reading text in any orientation;
the shape of characters indicates reading direction. This is why I have avoided to make any characters be mirrors of other characters (as happens with { q p d b } ). See the block of text in image 1, it is duplicated and rotated 180º next to itself.
The enci only use 12 characters, for 12 phonemes; they can be "capitalized" by adding a sort of tail hanging below them, they use this to expand their alphabet so it can be used to represent the languages of other species they meet, which often have larger phonetic libraries.
So, for example, they would write our letter B with their capital P.
This is all still quite unfinished and undergoing constant revission, but I'm very happy with what I have thus far and I wanted to show it. ^v^
