Letter forms
Most symbols have distinct enclosed, initial, final, and isolated forms: enclosed for a symbol with a symbol at both sides, initial for the first symbol in a word that is outside of a sentence, final for the last symbol in a word that is outside of a sentence, and isolated for referencing a single symbol or a one-symbol word. (A notable exception to that rule is 
.) Note that 
and 
have alternative final forms. A table of all forms follows.
Typography
Glyph metrics
The stemline (the central line) should be at the baseline of the glyph. The portions of each letter above the stemline should occupy the height of an ascender in Latin text, and the portions below the same.
Ligation
Letters that have portions that are following the curves of the previous letter should ligate. (An example of this is 
, where the lower right line of the 
glyph would, optimally, form a single line with the upper left portion of the 
glyph.) However, ligation is not mandatory. The word 
(meaning God) receives a special ligature, 
, with identical metrics to other letters.
Glyph design
Glyphs can be of either of two types: stemless or stemmed. The recommended form is usually stemmed; however, in some uses (like headlines), a stemless glyph is recommended. The space glyph should either be a line or a blank glyph, depending on the style of the typeface.
