Latin default

Use the modern Latin alphabet. Voiced and breathed consonants have two character options. Double vowels are each written with the two component vowel characters.

Omino Latin

Same as default, but for consonants with voiced and breathed Latin character options, use a combined new character.

오미노글 (Omino Hangul)

Starts with 한글. Reassigns some of the double vowels to existing 모음자 (including some archaic characters), and invents some new double vowel 자모 (au, ao, ae, ea, ei).

For each 자모 combination that doesn’t map to an existing 문자, a new one is created.

Below is a proof of concept for the Ominogul alphabet. It uses a custom font to fill in missing characters, and uses unassigned unicodes (here, I’m using the private use codes range).
