Here is the second version of the Unlu script font.
This one has been called Unlu Light as it is significantly smaller than the original with cleaner lines and angles.
In addition to the Unlu v.1 letters and usage this version includes more punctuation and the numbers 0-9.

Awesome! I like the stark shape of the letters. If I were you, I might make the spacing a little tighter, but other than that, i think it's perfect. Also, where did you find this? Did you invent Unlu yourself, or find it on omniglot, becaue I cant find it anywhere?
Hi Tanias,
Thanks for your compliments! I agree, the spacing isn't quite right.
Unlu is my own invention. I orignally designed it for use with another of my conlangs but when I had completed designing unlu it didn't quite match up with the language.
The script is actually inspired by human hands. Each unlu letter has four 'fingers' and a thumb positioned as extended or closed.
wow! Very creative. Maybe it could be like, it started as a cave painting code, which slowly came to repreent sounds and eventually found it's way onto pen and paper. That actually makes great sense!
I'd like to learn the spoken form of the language, whenever you've got it set up.
Well, when I get a language going for it I will let you know!
Here is an example of Unlu being used to write the Unlu language.
Unlu:
Nymhirusa Voklæsætor ro Xækljny
Klycaruse gekule pi Fowire
Voherusa Klæchomhy Ljsharo
English:
Leaves fall in silence
A chill dances on the wind
Harvest lights the moon
For some unknown reason Fontstruct is ignoring the vowels when i'm not in the editor. An accurate copy of the poem can be found a few posts down!
haevasu, lokiT.
Hey lokiT, I had a question I forgot to ask a few days ago. i was typing with the original unlu and I noticed that the vowels automatically hovered above the text. How did you program the font to do that?
Thanks, Tanias
Hi Tanias,
The vowels should automatically hover in the light version too. Bizarrely they do appear when i'm in editor and the preview function in there but they don't appear out here... very odd.
Its about where you place the glyph in relation to the baseline axis. I've attached a screenshot so you can see a vowel.
On the subject of Fontstruct bizarely ignoring my vowels when i'm not in the editor, here is the above poem sample taken in the editor so the vowels are visible.
Ahhh... I see. When I read it I was like, "Nmhrs? What's that supposed to mean?" but now I see when I translate it, Nymhirusa. Thanks for clarifying!
