'''{{tp|sitelen sitelen}}''' (also known as '''{{tp|sitelen suwi}}''') is a logographic writing system for [[Toki Pona]], created by Jonathan Gabel around 2006.<ref>https://www.jonathangabel.com/toki-pona/kama-pona/</ref> It is one of the two non-Latin writing systems featured in {{pu|en}}, alongside {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}}. The overall style of {{tp|sitelen sitelen}} was inspired by United States west-coast {{wp|comix}} and east-coast {{wp|graffiti}}, while the word shapes themselves are often taken from hieroglyphs or religious symbols.<ref>https://jonathangabel.com/toki-pona/acknowledgements/</ref> |

When written at smaller sizes where they would otherwise be too dense, glyphs can be simplified. The [//jonathangabel.com/toki-pona/dictionaries/drawing-steps drawing dictionary] presents each word glyph at large and small sizes to give examples for how details can be removed while staying recognizable. |
