Oof the House of the Dragon Valyrian script is, um…it’s not good. Between this and the Shiväisith in Thor: The Dark World I think we need to admit David Peterson is not a graphic designer. The weird serifs on both, like, I don’t know, maybe Peterson likes the font Exocet even more than I do.

Also all his scripts from Defiance (I think only conlangers remember that show, which shows how good he is at his actual job) just look like generic South Asian scripts. Seriously, put any of those on a can of coconut milk and see how long it takes before someone notices it’s fictional.

You need to hire a graphic designer to work with your linguist.

(Actually one of his old scripts, the one based on pictographs he mentions and shows some samples of in The Art of Language Invention, the one with the swordfish glyph, had some graphic design chops, but something seems to get lost when he transitions from stylized pictograms to phonograms.)
