Experimenting with a fictional alphabet to correspond with the alien language used by Negatives, known as "Tetronas," which has already been developed to an extent phonetically by Ludicrine.

The shape of the letters was inspired by a combination of how digital clock faces work plus the name of the language itself. That is, the "tetra-" prefix inspiring use of a four-sided shape (square).

As for the image itself, it contains every possible symbol created using the sample method, which is displayed in the very top left corner. The plus and minus note that their respective sections are numbered by either additive or subtractive method respectively. For example, under the minus sign, symbol 245 means that the shape was created by removing parts 2, 4, and 5 from the base, while under the plus sign, 137 means that the shape was created by adding parts 1,3, and 7 from a blank slate. Whether this has anything to do with how the language actually works in canon I have no idea, but I figured it was worth having some system to group the letters with.

The letters are also color coded, with each color group being occupied by symbols that required the same number of additions/subtractions to create. For example, all letters in the yellow group required 2 subtractions from the base to create, while all letters in the cyan group required the addition of 4 parts from blank.
