I agree, it looks very Tolkien inspired. It is a very beautiful script,
however i think that in a large amount of text, the glyphs may start
looking like one another after a while. Obviously, if you like the script
you dont have to change it, but i hear an ideal script doesnt have a lot
of similar looking characters (for maximum glyph recognition).
