Revision 2:
Notable changes:
- there is now a method for indicating stress, shown with a straight line just above the top point of the tall letters. Example below.
- the ineptly named "fricative stroke" is now a non-feature. The physical remnants of the style still remain, but no meaning need be attached to them.
- kerning is totally minimal. I might reinstate deliberate spacing because i think it kind of ruins the aesthetic.
- S is now a new shape, a wavey thing. To make the pen strokes match the style, it looks very similar to .ybu, so I may change it. Z follows.
- C is a double-S, but seeing as a double-S is illegal in Lojban there shouldn't be any confusion. J follows.
- M and N are now distinct characters - M retains the old shape, N is a new but not-entirely-dissimilar shape
- L and R are now distinct characters - both L and R are new shapes, not-entirely-dissimilar to each other, but very dissimilar from the old L, the "tall loop" character which could get confused for an I when handwriting.
- vowels are a little larger to make the text appear more uniform overall.
- the apostrophe-like shape has been reinstated as .y'y. Whether this is confusingly similar to the vocal flick shall be up to vote.
