*faces*. "

I'm sure I've seen this before. It was accompanied by a story about
a woman that devised this script, the children that learned it faster than 
an old style script and the 'face-script' took over the elaborate old one.
It was featural too, the eyebrows depicted the labials, the nose the nasals
etc. or something like that.
I forgot who made that script. Does anyone know?
