Creation and Usage Notes

This was used in my absolute favorite graphic (see above) in the film—perhaps one of my favorite graphics ever. One of the best uses of a writing system I created I have ever seen. This art department absolutely got the fact that I created a writing system, and they could create different font faces for it. Extraordinary work.
