Create A Personal Alphabet by Salty Pete

The ones that are supposed to be hard seem easy, the ones that seem easy are always hard.
I've always loved the IDEA of making fonts, but I've never done it before... I tried a number of times, but never got things that I liked or they ended up being too much like english. Also, font creation software is kind of primitive. And then, as the icing on the frustration cake, when talking to my roommate about my most promisting font idea, he suggested an amazing site http://www.omniglot.com and while there, I saw that someone else had actually already made an alphabet/font based on the idea I'd come up with. ....
At any rate, I think this dont is fun. It's of limited usefulness, in terms of communication, but there is a narcissistic pleasure derived from writing things with ones head as the letters...
The "m" and the period are definitely my favorite "characters".

oh. then you can't really read whole alphabet down below. even clicking on it and looking at it bigger.. i like the idea, but hard to decipher...
is there a note written in your alphabet?
