Nice!  I notice how the consonant letters are arranged in a 4*4*2
3-dimensional grid (4 heads, 4 feet, and simple or crossed stem),
which just calls for using them as a featural script (e.g.,
each head represents a point of articulation, each foot a manner
of articulation, and the cross-stroke indicates voice),
but in your system, the sound values are assigned rather arbitrarily.
(There is nothing wrong with that; it's just that I feel an opportunity
was missed.  Yes, I am heavily into featural scripts.)

Greetings,

Jörg.
