Thanks! I wanted it to look somewhat familiar, but not familiar enough so
it looks like i made a code for English writing. Many of the letters are
from other scripts. I used them because i thought they looked interesting
(such as the backwards "N"). I think it looks somewhat Cyrillic because of
it's blockiness. I noticed some of it also looks a bit runic (i didnt do a
runic style alphabet because those are a bit too angular for my tastes).
It has just the right amount of angles and curves to please my eye. I
was also able to memorize the first version, and for a time was able to
write things out without looking at a paper with the alphabet on it. I am
also going to try to memorize this one also.
