My take on Era 2-esque Scadrian handwriting (part 1 / 2 and a bit)

Damn... you did it, you son-of-a-gun, you actually did it! squee!

Ooh, I love these! Great job! I love the art nouveau style letters as well, makes me want to see art nouveau style Mistborn art (which I think could be lovely, with flowing mistcloak tassels and all that. I might give it a try myself this weekend.) And the handwriting looks Mistborny (is that a word?), pretty, and practical! I love your sysyematic approach as well. So yeah, great work!

Daughter of a gun. And more like daughter of a riffle, I guess. The riffle being Riitho. Hmm, Riitho x Nightblood… mm… (yeah, she's from different fandom). anyway thank you all!

I'll post some more soon, I accidentally ("accidentally" as in: the Shan Elariel incident) did print type too. Like a normal print, with small letters being more geometric and less connected handwriting and big being simplified older letters. But I have one more page to do + a little bit.

I really loved the Steel Alphabet evolution page when I first saw it on Coppermind. It made so much sense! From the Terris brushstrokes to the carved serifs of the Steel Alphabet of the Final Empire. I was so curious how the Steel Alphabet handwriting would look, I really wanted to see cursive Steel Alphabet. I did not expect it to look so Dravidian! (I visualized it as looking more Tengwar)

Also, I was wondering about the dots because they reminded me of diacritical marks and I found this:

Any in-world significance to the new symbols for E and U [on the Badali Mistborn rings]? (Tin/Pewter with dots moved) Or is that just creative liberty to give each English letter a unique symbol for the jewelry?

From the beginning, I built the symbols to also be an alphabet. Moving the dot to create a different vowels sound is something I borrowed from baybayin: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1b/9c/6f/1b9c6f22fce5589c1d3dfc62bfc1d4b2.jpg … Also planned from the beginning over ten years ago. The rings are the first chance to use it.

Which also answers the question of how they'd spell names like "Kelsier" with its dipthong of ie (I'm not looking up phonetic transcriptions of French pronunciations *shudders*)

I love how the cursive handwriting looks a bit like swirling mist!
