Dscript
Dscript is a new form of written script based on the Roman alphabet
invented by Matthew DeBlock. It uses the standard 26 letter Roman alphabet also
used for the English language.
What makes Dscript unique is that unlike other forms of
Roman alphabet script it makes very little effort to have its characters
resemble their original form, instead it focuses on conserving pen
strokes and a cursive-like connection of all words. There has also been
considerable effort put into other aspects, such as aesthetic
appearance, avoidance of ambiguity and, possibly most important, its
ability to be clearly and easy written and read both vertically and
horizontally.
Dscript combines all the letters of a word in what often appears to be a
single symbol, similar to Chinese characters except that longer words
tend to seem “stretched” (tall in the vertical form and wide in the
horizontal form).

Sample texts
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
Dream within a dream, by Edgar Allan Poe
