I'm partial to Mongolian.. It also has top to bottom but has an Arabic lace like cursive style which makes it flow much better than Japanese.

That is quite beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Are you familiar with Japanese grass script? It has quite a different feel than the Mongolian, but it's a type of Japanese cursive that flows really nicely IMHO:

which is actually a fairly legible example. Admittedly, the more flowing styles that you see in old poetry and the like effectively require specialized training to read. Beautiful, though!

It does look nice. The letters still look discrete though which is beautiful in itself but different from what attracts me to cursive style hands like Arabic.

Wow, that article makes me appreciate how far we've come in 20 years in terms of font rendering and text layout.

Good resource for Traditional (vertical) Mongolian here:

That's a very cool script! And it looks remarkably like Arabic.

At first I thought it was a descendant from Arabic, but a Wikipedia detour shows that the most common ancestor is actually Aramaic script.

Yeah. Another one I like but not quite as much is Tibetan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_script

It looks like some kind of alien runes. It's not vertical and has discrete letters but nevertheless, looks nice.
