I'm not really familiar with Deseret besides the history and concept. It was optimized for typesetting, lacking ascenders and descenders that tend to break off of metal type over time. That makes it hard to read. It sure has an aesthetic though, and I fancy it would make a great arcane glowing script flowing across a magical obelisk. Shavian was made for the pen. Every letter can be written in a single stroke without lifting the pen, and it uses ascenders and descenders to make the coastlines of words more distinct. Shavian also strives for a "mid-Atlantic" accent in its spelling. This does create some issues if, like me, your dialect uses the same first vowel in cot, caught, father, and bother.
Of the two I think Shavian has a bigger following.
Could you write รพem with different glyphs?
๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐จ๐ ยท๐๐ฑ๐๐พ๐ฏ ๐๐จ๐ฏ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐๐๐, ๐๐ณ๐ ๐๐ณ๐ฅ ๐๐ฌ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ธ๐ฏ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐ฏ ๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ณ๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ๐ฅ๐๐ณ๐ค๐ ๐๐ณ๐ฏ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฆ๐๐ค๐ฐ ๐๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ค๐ผ.
So perhaps not.
ยท๐๐ฑ๐๐พ๐ฏ is shorthand, and shorthand as I understand it didn't strive for exact expression, but approximation, right? So รพey have different goals: ยท๐๐ฑ๐๐พ๐ฏ for shorthand, and ๐๐ฏ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฏ๐ป to "represent every sound used in the construction of any known language." It follows รพat in ยท๐๐ฑ๐๐พ๐ฏ words will tend to be spelled รพe same way regardless of dialect, whereas in ๐๐ฏ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฏ๐ป you'd get different spellings based on an individual's pronunciation. ๐๐ฏ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฏ๐ป's preciseness is seductive, like Lojban's logical construction. It perhaps shares Lojban's handicap รพat precision is costly; like Esperanto, ยท๐๐ฑ๐๐พ๐ฏ (perhaps) sacrifices preciseness for usability. รe parallels are interesting.
