GLYPHS OF SALOREM

Salorem is a personal project where I put all my characters together. Since it's not quite Earth, I put it upon myself to develop writing systems for the various countries on the planet.

archaen rasai

Archaen Rasai

Archaen Rasai is based off the idea that we can read the Latin alphabet when the bottom half is missing. This is relevant to the story of Rasiak, as half of it fell to the ocean after its civil war.

sungan rasai

Sungan Rasai

Sungan Rasai is based off lowercase Latin alphabet, and it's a variation of Archaen Rasai. All counters become triangular and rounded strokes become angular. Certain things like "w" and "m" are interpreted as "double u" and "double n", represented by a single extra stroke.

cardinian

Cardinian

Cardinian is intended to be written in Spanish. I assigned numbers to the Latin alphabet (including "ñ") and combined them into a single brush stroke. 1–9 is written as 01–09 to make it consistent.

The extra strokes attached to the sides represent the amount of syllables they have per letter (| = 1, |• = 2), and the position derives from how many connection points there are from the letters themselves. This is a reference to cardinal directions.
