An excellent excuse to pull out the 3-D printer.
This reminds me that as a child I taught myself Tolkien's runes from The Hobbit, which is mostly another substitution of the modern English alphabet:

I got to the point I could read and write without a reference. Not as fast as English but not slow either.

Many years later I found a notebook with many pages of things I'd written but had since lost the ability to read again.

I have a very similar story, except I taught myself and a friend to write using "daedric" from Morrowind. I don't know if it was the actual daedric letters from the game, I think I just found a font that claimed to be daedric from a website and thought it was really cool. My friend and I would write notes to each other in this little secret chicken scratch-looking alphabet, it was fun.

I sometimes try to remember how to write it or how to read it (I still have some notebooks from when I was a kid as well), but it's been 20+ years and I only recognize a few characters at this point. The rest is practically Greek to me now.

I'm not understanding how this makes it easier to write in the dark. I'd think handwriting in cursive or even printing would work OK. In fact I just tried it and it was perfectly legible.
This was used in a L05tboy mystery challenge at defcon something like a decade ago. It has made for great trivia ever since.
