Cursive shorthand system without shading
Vocalisation is indicated via relative positioning of the base and distance of the next consonant. The Original system uses shading of the stem of the next letter for some vowels like 'a'. Lightline drew inspiration from "stiefografie", which was made by a southern german, like myself (swiss). German language had some vowelshifts that have not yet taken root in some dialects, as "Badish" and swiss german and we make use of that! A swiss "Hus" is a german "Haus", a home. That's why we treat u as it were au and vice versa in lightlined, but you are free to change that. The next three lines symbolize the relative positioning of consonants, any consonant, positioned narrow and slightly shifting the baseline upwards will hold the vowel 'i' in front of it, so be it the consonant 't' for example, it would really mean: 'it'.
consonants placed according to the 3 levels hold these vowels (IPA):
i|y -- eι|oι
e|æ -- u|aʊ
a -- o|œ
Original system with shading
i|aʊ -- eι|oι
_|a -- e|æ
o|u -- œ|y
