How to write
Each block combines an onset radical and a vowel mark. A lower-right diamond marks a consonant without a following vowel. Doubled vowels add a length bar. Apostrophes retain the glottal break.
Use spaces between words and line breaks for phrasing. Case is not marked. Vowel units are a, e, i, o, u, ei, ai and au.

A hand you can keep
Write beyond the archive.
Install the font and enable standard ligatures to type romanized text in supported apps. For dependable sharing, export a vector inscription or copy script characters and apply the font.
The structure of the hand
A family of spoken forms.
Read the onset down the left and the vowel across the top. Select a glyph to insert its romanized value.
Finals and glottals
The final column writes the consonant alone, marked with a hollow diamond. A separate hook writes the glottal break in B’hala and Pah’Korai. No vowel is inserted automatically.
Length and cadence
Double a pure vowel to preserve its length: aa, ee, ii, oo or uu. The extra lower bar distinguishes it from a short vowel. Penultimate stress is normally understood; type ˈ to make a stress position explicit.
