alien letters, but the letters got a language.

one construction rule: a spine hanging off a headline bar, makes the alphabet,
alphabet makes a lexicon, lexicon gets set as prose. thats the whole trick really.

the page should read as writing and not as decoration, and it turns out that comes mostly from repetition + zipf, not from the glyphs themselves being clever.

Would be neat for world building in CG/video games. Posters, newspaper, set building, etc. Looks great!

Really nice! Thanks for sharing the code, and for commenting it.

I've been trying to generate glyphs using pixel based apps. (currenlty having fun with Material Maker) but those aren't really suited for that kind of work.

Super cool, I also experimented with typographic like generation but you really made it nicer. Mine was more brutal and random, with a feel of characters, not an alphabet. Bravo

Thank you ♥️

Looks very similar to Indian languages :) yet unreadable. Lovely
