I like it much better than the square style I made up. When I finally
finished it i thought "wow, this style would be great for billboards,
stigns, etc". Heh, i can even see the lettering on signs for Indian
movies.....perhaps I can make another artefact :).

Well, just the style of the lettering was based off of a script style I
had seen on a Thai sign. Not that it's based off of Thai. Ranaka actually
derives from Grantha (and a cousin to Tamil, Kannada, but much more
simplified than those are).  The sign that inspired me is:

Interesting. I would be very interested in seeing your Kash script. Send
it on over!
