I once spend some time on a very compact writing system that would use five of the segments of the seven segment display (not using the two vertical segments on the right) and use those for the next letter in the word. With the requirement of the characters always having at least one vertical segments that leaves you with 28 combinations, just enough to represent the 26 characters of the Latin alphabet. I was wondering if one would recognize words from the shape of the 'glued' together characters.
- tcsenpai 2y agoDo you have a draft of it? It seems very interesting!
- fjfaase 2y agoTook me some time to find my notes and it turned out it was actually based on an bit higher version of the 7-segment display: It uses four horizontal lines and three vertical ones. I spend some time writing some JavaScript to display the text. (I have no experience in creating font files yet.)

- tcsenpai 2y agoI like it. I am trying to create a cheatsheet (aka a simple alphabet translation) by simply writing all the letters one by one separated by a space. It might come in handy!
