Doctor Who Question

Why do people say that Gallifreyan is that circle-y stuff?

The doctor says that this Phoenician-looking stuff (see image) is "Old High Gallifreyan" (from "The Time of Angels). How does this in any way, shape, or form resemble any derivation of the "Gallifreyan" that has been advertised as such?

This looks like Phoenician, like I said, which is a basis for our Latin alphabet. In that case, Gallifreyan should at least resemble the level of complexity that we use in our characters instead of circles and all. This language has triangles and lines and corners, not billions of circles and balls.

Because Gallifreyan shouldn't look like anything from earth, since it isn't from earth. (that's a basic description of my thoughts but it works)
