Description	Rotor is an experimental script created using animated gifs, to realize the concept of letters that literally move on the "page". It consists of fifteen minimal pairs of graphemes in which the members of each pair are identical except for the way they move: unvoiced consonants and the first member of the pairs /l r/, /h j/, /q x/, /a o/, ". :", ", ;", "! ?" turn clockwise, voiced consonants and the second member of the pairs move anti-clockwise (/c/ rocks first clockwise, then anti-clockwise). Of the remaining graphemes, /e/ turns a vertical figure-of-eight and /u/ a horizontal one, and /i/ alone, consisting of two "zoophors" turning clockwise, is unambiguous when at rest.
Influences	Plant shapes, microscopic life.
Languages Used For	English.
