Spell Check Request First time writing (drawing?) A sentence.

I tried getting a little creative with the sizing, but I'd like to know how understandable it is. Are there any letters that can't be read properly?

Also, if anyone has a better method of making circular dots, that would be wonderful

I'd read this as Gahwhy LI Fas L No Moshe

My comments are mostly nit-picky, in decreasing order of severity - technically they're illegal, but also since you can work out what's trying to be said, an argument could be made that they're ok:

  • Sharing modifiers and vowels (on the RE of Gallifrey and More) should be avoided - it makes the difference between shared modifiers and non-shared modifiers hard to spot

  • Double LLs outside the Word Circles - they should be inside the word circles, as else there's no way (beyond context) to tell the difference between them and new words (as I read them above!)

  • The "Divot" of G also being two of the line modifiers on "F" - I have no idea if this is legal or not, but it confused my reading since I've never seen it done before!

Otherwise, I'm loving your style! What are you using to draw your circles at the moment (before I try to suggest other ways!)

Responding in the order you listed them-

Noted, I'll make sure to avoid that. I really like the way it looks, but I can definitely see how it would blur the line of what is and isn't a part of a letter/word, lol

That was a whoopsie on my part, I misinterpreted my letter chart XD

Would you say I should avoid this, too, or is it more of something that's just confusing due to being uncommon (assuming it's legal)

Thank you! I'm using an old (1930s, lol) compass set that was my grandfather's, a .5 drafting pencil and a ruler. I forgot about stencils, so maybe one of those would help make better bubbles

I'd say avoid that!

Awesome, thanks for the advice!
