Here's Tasratal, which I stupidly didn't write vertically, but is more
natural written vertically:

Unfortunately, many of my files on Naracze (formerly Czevraqis) are nixed,
  but the Rokugani Reformed Alphabet is written in much the same fashion.
(It's for a Legend of the Five Rings campaign...y'all probably don't want
to know...)  Naracze proper has letter-shapes derived from Korean and a
more phonologically based vowel design.  :-)  OTOH, the RRA (based on a
future "Japanese," or Rokugani) is a kludge from hiragana.  Fun to devise,
  though, and it looks funky from a distance, though once you get close-in
the hiragana derivatives are easy to spot.

It's bad luck to be superstitious.
