I think I was subconsciously influenced by Malayalam and maybe also Tamil.  I do
like both of them.

I would like to do "proper" design of the scripts.  What you see on the webpage,

I think I'm also going to shrink the i and y so they don't ascend/descend.

I certainly do...  I'm not sure how I'll use it.  I don't want it to be an
allophone of m/n as in english/italian, etc.  (Canadians, correct me if I'm
