Evolved Alphabet

The Evolved Alphabet is an experimental alphabet created by TheDankBoi69. It is imagined as being an futuristic evolved version of the current Latin alphabet used to write the English language with a restored alphabetic principle. The letterforms are actually glyphs from the font Cascadeur RND, but TheDankBoi69 saw that the letterforms were different enough from everyday Latin that they could be seen as an entirely different script.

Notable features

Type of writing system: alphabet
Direction of writing: left to right in horizontal lines
Used to write: English
Plosives and short vowels are thin; fricatives, and centring dipthongs are wide.
Falling diphthongs are depicted as accented short vowels.
It has a very geometric but also compact appearance.
As its name implies, it is an imagined, "evolved" version of our current alphabet. Some of the letters are reminiscent of the Latin alphabet, and used for the same sounds.
As the schwa is the most reduced vowel, it is written with the smallest glyph.
The orthographic conventions are similar to Shavian's, but with a few exceptions.
Since it doesn't have upper or lower case, it distinguishes homophones, proper nouns, and acronyms with diacritics and special symbols, and has two different apostrophes, one for contractions and the other for possessives.
