Summary

An example of English sentences written in the Izografia writing system devised by Tadeusz Wójcik. Based on an example paragraph provided by Tadeusz Wójcik in "Młody Technik", issue 4/1972, p. 63.

The black symbols are English sentences written by Izografia, as originally drawn by Tadeusz Wójcik. The blue text is the English text. The red text represents each Izografia symbol (consonants and vowels) as Latin and IPA symbols, to illustrate that Izografia represents text phonetically; elongated vowels are represented with a colon :.

Incidentally, Wójcik's Izografia text does not faithfully represent English pronunciation; in particular, 'has' is written as if the vowel was elongated (although it might be Wójcik's attempt at representing the schwa, ə; Wójcik writes in the caption that notating English vowels was still a work in progress as of 1972).

Note that in the original example, the word "goes" was written with the glyph "∠", which according to the author's attached explanation stands for 'eu'. I assume it's a mistake, so I have replaced it with its mirror image "⦣", which stands for "ou".
