The Voynich manuscript is such a fascinating thing.
Comment on Elianscript! A fun artistic way to softly encrypt your handwriting.

Sorry to be the buzzkill here but this is not encryption but obfuscation and can easily be broken by comparing letter frequencies, so don’t use this for anything more sensitive than your shopping list. This is not suitable for writing your next serial killer letters or a mysterious book about medicine that will stump scientists for centuries.
Still a really neat as a non-encrypted writing system though. I could see this in some sci-fi or fantasy media.

That’s fair, wrong word used. The idea is that someone casually looking at it will not know how to read it.
Thanks 👍
