The Deini font was based upon a 9-point system as you might see with a 12-segment display though instead of the being squared off I put in some curves to make writing much easier. http://conlang.dana.nutter.net/index.php/%EE%B4%A5%EE%B4%92%EE%B4%91 %EE%B4%A4%EE%B4%91_%28Deini%29 Yes you need the script to properly view this page, but there's also a link to the article on Omniglot at the bottom with a PDF download that explains the script.
