I actually wonder if anyone on the forum right now would argue against the glyphs bearing most resemblance to Latin script?
That said though, I would say that the combination of all the gallows characters and the way they consistently rise above the other glyphs is unusual. Can you really trace the whole set to Latin scribal habits? 

JKP is quite right when he says the whole set is Latin. And the Gallows are not different from 'Lombarden' or 'Versalien'
