Satzī alphabet
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/satzi.php The Satzī alphabet was created by Charles Heisler for his constructed language, Mor'osi. The alphabet's name (which can also be applied to the individual letters) is Mor'osi for "primary characters", and the alphabet itself was inspired in part by both Korean Hangul and the Shavian Alphabet. Both the language and the alphabet have undergone many changes since they were first conceived, leaving behind a number of archaic letters and letter forms. The concept is good, the featural nature of the script is nice, but I think the overall look is a bit unnaturlistic, and I really wonder about the need of archaic letters/letter forms. I do think it has potential, both calligraphically and perhaps in other stylistic ways.

I took a gander and felt myself transported back to the early 70s, when scalextrix style straight'n'curve serif fonts were all the fashion. It currently lacks - well, character. I think the idea is good, but I would really like to see how the script resolves itself at the end of a brush, or a calligraphic pen. I think I want - quirks!

I think I want - quirks! I would agree, most natscripts have their fair share.

For some reason I've seen a few of these. I don't exactly like that they're inspired by Hangeul, yet end up with a very basic shorthand-style writting block with bad calligraphic style. At least, that's my opinion. - Another one very similar was Engul (though adapted for English, so it's more complex)
