Author's note

Voynich by Rob Barba of Megami Studios is a free experimental display font built from unfamiliar, glyph-like letterforms. Its sweeping curves meet sharp wedges and sudden changes in stroke width. The lettering resembles an invented script, with each form shaped like a compact symbol.

For fantasy and puzzle audiences, it suits book covers and game graphics. It can suggest a coded alphabet. Posters and merchandise can turn the symbolic shapes into elements of a mysterious illustrated world.

Description
Voynich is an eerie, alien font based on the mysterious tome known as the Voynich manuscript (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript). Please be aware that this is merely a decorative font that uses the glyphs of the Voynich manuscript to approximate the Latin alphabet and is not meant to be an attempt to transcribe the actual manuscript. For more information on this, please see the Wikipedia articles at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Voynich_Alphabet

Special thanks must go to René Zandbergen and Gabriel Landini for their creation of the European Voynich Alphabet (EVA) transcription system. A copy of a font based on the actual EVA transcription may be found at http://www.geocities.com/ctesibos/francais/voynich/outils/evah1_1.zip
