I don't think Hangul-like writing systems are good fits for English however. Korean has a relatively simple syllable structure /C(G)VC/ and Hangul thoroughly exploits this trait. English does not; consonant clusters like "strike" are common, and every Hangul-like alternative to Latin alphabet for Korean was jarring to my eyes partly for that reason, e.g. [1]. It would be a bit more easier to work with word-based typography, i.e. logogram; refer to [2] and [3] for such attempts. [3] might be an interesting trade-off between logogram and phonetic alphabet.
