Possibly humans were inspired by these patterns to design their scripts. Writing was developed initially just to keep track of Quantities of grain and other commodities. Also shape of scripts was determined by the medium on which it was recorded. Clay afforded fish and tress and patterns like that. Rocks surfaces demanded more straight lines like in Brahmi script. Palm leaves would tear with straight lines so some scripts drifted into more rounded and curved lines. That explains the roundness of Tamil / Kannada etc. as opposed to Devanagari script
