I'll start with the ones I'm considering: -Clausal distinction by colour of the word -Boustrophedon (alternating direction of writing) -intent indicators

I really like your ideas for a new script, it reminds me a lot of xu bing calligraphy (or square word calligraphy) which is a script I really like but also demonstrates how important proper writing technique is to make something look authentic.

I just looked that up, imagine if that's what became the way to write simplified chinese characters via Pinyin, or at least as Bopomofo guides next to the original characters

Yeah that'd be cool, but I feel like there's more artistic value in it than there is utility.
