When I was a kid, I invented a simpler alphabet based on the one we use. It
was simpler in terms of necessary strokes. It ended up being very triangular
indeed. I don't think it would be useful in cursive writing.
I would say what you need to target is the unicity of (letter, sound) pairs
(speaking like a French Mathematician here). In other words, Each letter
must give one and only one sound, and your alphabet must cover all possible
sounds (dismiis all slight sonic variations for simplification - no need to
go all the way like Sanskrit does).

Thanks * several million Blunderbuss for your contribution of the symbol
ideas (and I mean that)!!! The problem is that a lot of the alphabetical
symbols reversed are hard to write in joined-up handwriting, although some
are in fact not. Also the other problem is that they are easily confused by
children and people with neural disorders for their "opposite" versions and,
if it can possibly be done, I want to try and make the new system as easy as
I am able. Thanks again for your contribution, I may well use your idea. I
still welcome any other ideas!
Cheers, Roly.
