A project I've been working on for some time that combines a readable writing system with a means of creating decorative streams of symbols, allowing for practical or artistic use. It is designed to be writable in the same way as English, with a couple key differences:
end of sentence within a thought:
. = SPACEBARx2
? = ?SPACEBAR
! = !SPACEBAR
end of thought:
. =SPACEBAR-
? = ?-
! = !-
end of paragraph:
. = .
? = ?-
! = !-
numbers:
numbers at the beginning of a sentence = ###-SPACEBARtext
numbers at end of sentence = textSPACEBAR-###SPACEBAR-
Use as applicable to avoid numbers and letters bleeding into each other.
For purely artistic streams of writing, Start every sentence with a capital, skip spaces, and use '-' as a period. This allows for a smooth bar of symbols without any random bits jutting out that can be used for framing or backgrounds.
One of the first fonts I attempted to make on this website was a cursive font, with accurate bridge letters.
I finally thought of a way to make it work; dots on both ends that would build a bridge if one mid-ending and one bottom was used, and gave an aesthetic if it was two of the same height endings.
I realized after making the entire font that there are no mid-starts, but I had an entire pixel cursive font, so I reworked it as shown.
I can make it the dotted way, too.
Version 1.1: More Latin added.

Haven't done anything like this in a long while. This is a form of pseudocursive script, and it's termed this because many forms deviate from the cursive standards. I had to find my own solutions to account for different types of loops and to add details.

Work in progress
A cursive handwriting inspired style work.
Its a medium size faux-Bezier (fake curve) style approach with somewhat rough shaped outlines. I am having a serious hard time comming up with a uppercase set. Publishing it in this early stage I kind of hope to get some suggestions that might refreh my perspective on it.
Therefor I am curious about what you guys think so far...
Cheers
It's the fancy cursive font from "resource2.dat" from Cube World. Turns out, its actually the 'Venice' font by Susan Kare & Bill Atkinson from the original classic Macintosh, so I've added all the remaining characters from the original font which the cube world version didn't have.

The font can work by itself or curious effects can be achieved. The 3D aspect becomes real by adding one or two gray bands to our text as the samples show. Some alternatives (A, a, E, Y) are at the end of the Basic Latin set.

Some symbols are used as cursive-based add-ons:
` is a single pixel, used for padding out the continuing line
@, #, $, %, ^, &, and * are flourishes to end a sentence with.
