Description
This design is built from 2D alphabet glyphs in Dscript. Dscript allows text to be turned into an alphabetical string that can be bent, curled, forked and wrapped up into a solid glyph or symbol. Dscript is a set of symbols that allow you write both horizontally and vertically, so that by using both together the "string of letters" can dynamically fill 2D space. Each glyph is a 100% legible english word.

The text in the story is a famous fable by Aesop "The wolf and his shadow" which is meant to teach us to not get to cocky".

The original text is as follows

THE WOLF AND HIS SHADOW

A Wolf left his lair one evening in fine spirits and an excellent appetite. As he ran, the setting sun cast his shadow far out on the ground, and it looked as if the wolf were a hundred times bigger than he really was.

"Why," exclaimed the Wolf proudly, "see how big I am! Fancy me running away from a puny Lion! I'll show him who is fit to be king, he or I."

Just then an immense shadow blotted him out entirely, and the next instant a Lion struck him down with a single blow.

Do not let your fancy make you forget realities.

Each "word glyph" in this example is optimized for a set standard or writing dimensions and pen stroke conservation. There are many many possible form, shapes and variations for each word.

Dscript is a "constructed script". Constructed scripts are invented writing systems. "invented writing system" is most commonly intended to mean "invented in a single generation as opposed to evolving over many generations", natlangs(Natural Language) are what we call languages that have evolved for many generations, conlangs(Constructed language) are what we call the new ones.

Dscript was originally a "directional constructed script", this means it could be written both vertically and horizontally with a single pen stroke design. Over time it evolved into its current form, a "dimensional constructed script" which allows the "letter strings" of the directions script to be wrapped up, contorted, forked, and even have letters placed inside of other letters.
