I kinda like the way this looks as it makes the script predictable but I still feel like it could really be improved

These two are pretty bad in my opinion as I can't really tell where the dots are meant to be and it looks very overcomplicated.

This is the original font and I believe it can be easily written (unfortunately my artistic skill is pretty low).

Lined paper like music notes?

That would probably help but also make everything merge together a bit

Personally I'd use a stubby calligraphy pen like a Pilot Parallel. Otherwise these are gonna be really hard to make distinct enough to read, the very-similar-height dots especially

Yeah so luckily it's designed in such a way that smaller destinctions like the height of a dot can't change the actual meaning (if a word looks like "baskxt" we'd all know what it's meant to spell because clearly a consonant isn't meant to be there)
