how did the I becone the Z and the Z became the I? why are half the letters mirrored frim archaic latin to roman?

i wasn't an i. It was a different sound represented by a sign that resembled i.

Huh? This hasn't got anything to do with sounds, funny enough.

I like how modern is just sans serif Roman (+a few letters).

i don't understand your comment.

how modern is modern latin?

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 2 points 5 months ago

The Roman font is serif, the Modern Latin font is sans serif

it was just a silly observation about font choices.

Looks like there was a moment between Archaic Latin and Roman when a lot of letters got turned around
