Method: letters are shadows of one golden-spiral strip on a φ-aspect torus (Winter’s flame letter: R=φ2θ/π, 540°, revolved 36°, viewed at platonic tilts). Multi-stroke only where the script is multi-stroke by nature. The 50% target is language coverage. Language names open the per-letter gallery.

One golden spiral (R = φ2θ/π) sine-lifted over 1.5 turns onto a torus whose height is φ times its outer radius, then revolved 36° (the 1/10 apple peel). Each image is an orthographic shadow at a platonic / pentagonal tilt — the same object Winter used for Hebrew, Latin, and Arabic letterforms.
























Letters whose geometric encodings match across inventories (shared spiral view) — the actual inter-language connection.
