No clue, but your attention to the details is impressive.
And always appreciated.

I regret to inform you that in Classic Traveller, all Zhodani language was shown using latin lettering (just like English uses).
Zdetl (language)
Zdetl/Lexicon
I even checked the Alien Module: Zhodani and found no imagery for a Zhodani specific lettering system.
There may be specific images scattered around Classic Traveller showing Zdetl written in native lettering, but I'm unable to find such imagery for you quickly.

If you go to Amber Zoned on Facebook (associated with Jeff Kazmierski) there is a photo of the alphabet on a set of Zhodani Scrabble tiles.
There are also several pages of words, in Zdetl, with translations.

An escort destroyer is a small warship built to full naval standards which is optimized for anti-small craft and anti-SDB duties in wartime, but which retains many of the capabilities of a traditional fleet destroyer, enabling it to conduct operations in conjunction with main fleet units as well as carrying out convoy escort and ASW patrols. Typically, escort destroyers have a high enough speed and sufficient armament of guns and missiles that they are capable of skirmishing successfully with enemy destroyers.

Wow, that is very beautiful!
Does that have a font in it?
Yes it has the font and some word.
The Chrysanthemum class destroyer escort is a small, fast vessel intended for fleet and squadron escort duties. The design is old, but efficient, with examples of the ship serving in the Imperial Navy for over a century. Chrysanthemums are ubiquitous, being encountered with larger fleet elements as well as working alone. This class of destroyer escort has been pressed into service in a variety of non-escort duties, including orbital patrols, police operations, garrison duties, and even limited strike missions*1).

I love the varied designs you have for air-rafts. Flat ones like pallet transporters, the usual 'flying jeep', flying truck cabs that can pick up detachable modules and the zero-g one with arms for mining/manufacturing.

TheChrysanthemum class Block V was first procured in 1075. The Block V began commissioning just before the Fourth Frontier War (1082 to 1084). At least 100 Block 5 and updated Block 4 ships were deployed in the Fourth Frontier War.
In Block 5, the hangar for the 50dt cutter at the rear was removed, the bow was extended, and a hangar for the 20dt boat was installed at the bottom of the hussel. Five triple sandcasters were removed, the particle acceleration cannon was increased from one to two, and four triple missile turrets were installed to enhance the attack capability. The Model 9/fib computer on board greatly automates the ship's operations, reducing the number of crew members and improving habitability.

Following the information from Mr. Spinward Scout on this site, I spent the last week on Traveller with ChatGPT 5 and his prompt.
Traveller has a terrifying affinity with generative AI.
Create a character, create a portrait for it, He accurately manipulates NPCs and even plays a limited romance. He managed the operation of the spaceship, battles, trade, and even the management of the company, and described the world in detail from the world, characters, clothing, and meals as requested.
Amazing!

The Block III and IV modernization program is designed to provide mid-life upgrades to ensure the destroyers remain effective with service lives of at least 50 years. Modernization of existing ships provides commonality with in-production ships. The program's goals are reduced manning, increased mission effectiveness, and reduced total cost.
Mid-life modernization of Block III and IV ships is done in two phases: the first phase updates the computer, drive, and electrical systems, while the second phase focuses on weapon system upgrades.

Nicely done. Good use of negative space to suggest potential motion.
