Pre-Release Notes on the su Style of sitelen pona


lipu su is an upcoming 2024 book printed almost entirely in the sitelen pona writing system, using a modified version of the nasin-nanpa font. lipu su will be part of the Official Toki Pona book series produced and published by Sonja Lang, creator of Toki Pona and sitelen pona.

Some details of the su style of sitelen pona include:

four-legged akesi as default (six-legged pu-style akesi not used)

jasima
lanpan
sunset or lotus majuna as default (upside-down sin glyph not used)

mute (when meaning is twenty)
pepper namako as default (four-line sin-derived glyph not used)
sewi (when meaning is divine, sacred, God)

  • “Decide your style of Toki Pona for yourself.” (lipu ku p. 23)
