New ithkuil writing system and all its interesting design!

The pic in the caption is by ykulvaarlck (ithkuil 3 rather than 4 but I love 'em both). I'd love to discuss some of the great design in tnil writing system that JQ came out with a while ago.

For one I love the system of representing triconsonantal roots as single glyphs as it's very efficient but difficult (much like the language itself) but also gives an excuse for such complex single shapes. A problem I find with a lot of "alien alphabets" is that single alphabetic characters are far too complex to be usable and look dull as they're forced to repeat.

Overall i also just love the style and uniqueness of this script! I'd like to hear what you guys think, is this type of script your preference?
