Deseret (𐐔𐐯𐑅𐐨𐑉𐐯𐐻) is a historical American bicameral alphabet, written left-to-right. Was used by members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) in Utah for writing the English language. Developed in 1854 by George D. Watt as part of a planned phonemic English-language spelling reform. Abandoned around 1877. Read more on ScriptSource, Unicode, Wikipedia, Wiktionary, r12a.

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
