Something I came up with a few years back on paper; I think this would be called an Abjad. There are vowels to go with this, but I haven't yet worked out how to incorporate them if it's possible with this website.

It reminds me a little bit of applebeech. Is this intended for english or a conlang? How would the vowels work? The capital vowels are represented. There are other sites similar to fontstruct, but I don't know if any of them would be any more usable for what you want to do.

Hi tsafontstruct! Apologies for the delay in responding; I didn't realise I had a comment/question!! This can be (or it's *intended* for) used as phonetic alphabet for *any* language that can be spoken to be transcripted, however- I did have a language with a lexicon in the works called 'Vokätburge', which is a word I came up with/coined using Google Translate, from German to English which the algorithms equate to 'vocabulary'; it's what might be called 'pseudo-German', or- "fake German"!

As for the vowels- I was intending to have the vowels work in a _similar_ way to Hebrew, but I had a much larger range of specific vowel *sounds* rather than letters of which there are 5 character locations denoting which vowel is in use, but then more specific shapes to denote _how_ the vowel sound is expressed, for example- 'boot' & 'bot' would be spelt 'b', 't', with a diacritic in the same position above or below the 'b', but represented to differentiate between the long & short 'o'!

Quite interesting that you mention Applebeech! ?I totally agree that there is quite a strong similarly, however today is the first time from conscious memory that I've ever been aware of Applebeech, and at the time of creating this alphabet/abjad(which was years prior to trying to upload it to this site!) my ideas to my *conscious* awareness were completely original to me!! ??‍♂️ At most, I can say that beyond pure *coincidence*, I guess it has a kind of *runic* influence, but by no means at all was I *trying* to _copy_ anyone else's ideas!! I'd rather suggest that with THOUSANDS, possibly TENS of thousands+ of different fonts that could *possibly* be imagined, it's gotta be pretty _difficult_ to come up with something *truly* original & without at least _some_ resemblance to something that's already been imagined by someone else! ??
