Description
This is just a sneak peak at another writing system I devised.It is what I believe Mayan Vikings would have used.
As you notice I try to apply the mechanics of Hangul, while trying to keep the specific 2x3 formula Mayan scripts often used.
As classification goes it is an abugida as vowels are marked.
It also clusters consonants into blocks!
(I like the result so much I'm gonna put as many as possible clusters into the conlang)

It's an alphabet.
It is based on nordic runes and the 6-part zigzag used to write ancient Mayan.
But it is utilised like in hagul.
the system was pretty fun, sadly my files got corrupted and I lost it :/

Oh that's sad.
I also thought it could be a Hangul Alphabet, since the different letter/syllable parts looked like letters themselves. Additionally, the uppermost and lowermost letters could indicate some sort of bordering, or it gives the information about the word's type.
can I use this idea to make a few new versions for this?

No real language...
It is pretty inpractical, and only makes sense for the weird icelandci-yucatan hybrid I was making.
