This system could easily be expanded to work with diacritics as well. I've quickly sketched some possible shapes. Many diacritics work well in their usual form (dot, umlaut/diaeresis, acute, macron, breve), while others can be changed slightly to fit the aesthetic (grave, circumflex, caron, stroke, tilde, cedilla).

I see, I missed ogonek and comma. Maybe they could be the same shape as cedilla? Does any language distinguish between these?

Yesterday @blinry boosted a toot about the #Tendrilis writing system into my feed (corneill.es/@ilusenn/114039121) and I really liked it.

To learn reading it, I created a computer font of it: gitlab.com/quanten/tendrilis-f.

It's a pretty rough first version and there are probably a lot of font shenanigans (ligatures, etc.) to explore.

Tendrilis is way prettier on paper, but I could also imagine some solarpunk computer interfaces using it.

A picture of a ebook reader lying on a piece of paper. On the paper, there is "hello mastodon." written Tendrilis. Tendrilis is composed of a continuous line with feature on it, some of which resemble leafs, branches, circles, etc. The "h" is a spiral down from the line curling backwards. The "s" is one half circle above and one below, so the they touch in the middle. The "o" is just a small circle above the line, and so on. On the ebook reader, there is the first chapter of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11) in Tendrilis with the following text: "CHAPTER i. Down the Rabbit-Hole Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do:"
