This would give written Lojban a bit of exotic flair without making it harder to read. Of course, the language has *dozens* of consonant clusters, so making such a font and making it look not-hideous would be a substantial job...and if I had enough Copious Free Time to do such a thing, I would spend more time *learning the damn language*...but as long as we're musing about alphabets I thought I would put that idea on the table.
