Gridika

The Gridika alphabet is an invention of Alex Gómez, who created it as an alien-like or futuristic-looking script that can be used to write almost any language that uses the Latin alphabet. Alex uses it, like his other conscrips, to write short sentences or names to keep them secret. The name Gridika comes from the fact that this alphabet is based on a grid pattern.

Notable features

Type of writing system: alphabet.
Direction of writing: left to right.
Used to write: English or any other language that uses Latin alphabet with few diacritics.
Each letter is formed by vertical lines and/or dots, and they can be connected with the next letter with only horizontal and 45° diagonals.
There are no rules about how to connect the letters to form words, so one can write words in more than one way, like the examples below.
Since Gridika was not designed to write long texts, its punctuation is limited for now.
