Yes, that script has been posted here... a long time ago :).
I myself have created writing systems that are similar in ornateness.

What I was getting at was mostly for day to day scripts. The vine
script from Ayeri is not one of those. People say things like "those
dots will get turned into dashes!" or "Those curves are too complex"
(when plenty of natural scripts have fairly ornate glyphs that are
complex)
