Beautiful! Wow, those would look really cool if you
made a whole text of those on some old looking
parchment, with a little bit of a stylish vine or
something at the corners.
Hey, I know this idea is sorta weird, but I was
looking at your sample and I thought it looked like a
musical bar. Now, I know a musical bar has five
lines, instead of six, but your script reminded me of
music notes. I just hought it would be neat if you
could incorporate a song hidden into the script.
For example, the first glyph, (minus the top bar to
make a musical scale) could be f, the second glyph - c
f f f, and so on.
I know this isn't the intention of your script anyway,
and it beautiful even as it is in the sample.
