Neographers

Neographers are individuals who create new writing systems, also known as constructed scripts or conlangs. This practice, often referred to as "neography," involves the design of unique alphabets, syllabaries, abjads, or other forms of writing. Neographers may develop these scripts for various purposes, including personal artistic expression, fictional world-building in literature or games, linguistic experimentation, or as part of a larger constructed language project. The process can involve determining the visual appearance of characters, their phonetic or semantic values, and the rules governing their use. Some neographies are purely aesthetic, while others are designed to be highly functional and efficient for communication. The community of neographers is often found online, sharing their creations and discussing the principles of script design. While the term "neography" itself is relatively new, the concept of creating novel writing systems has a long history.
