OCTADEHexlish Alphabet for English, Constructed Languages and Cryptography: Automatic, Structural Compression with a Phonetic Hexadecimal Alphabet DOI : <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13139469" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13139469</a> Hexlish is a legible, sixteen-letter alphabet for writing the English language and for encoding text as legible base 16 or compressed binary. Texts composed using the alphabet are automatically compressed by exactly fifty percent when converted from Hexlish characters into binary characters. Although technically lossy, this syntactic compression enables recovery of the correct English letters via syntactic reconstruction. The implementer can predict the size of the compressed binary file and the size of the text that will result from decompression. Generally it is intuitive to recognize English alphabet analogues to Hexlish words. This makes Hexlish a legible alternative to the standard hexadecimal alphabet. <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/conlang" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@conlang@a.gup.pe</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/languagelovers" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@languagelovers@a.gup.pe</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/linguistics" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@linguistics@a.gup.pe</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@academicchatter@a.gup.pe</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=hexlish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hexlish</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=conlang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Conlang</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=alphabets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Alphabets</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=english" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#English</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=hexadecimal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hexadecimal</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=encoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Encoding</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=cryptography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cryptography</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=ciphers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ciphers</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Crypto</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Encryption</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=compression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Compression</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=papers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Papers</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=preprints" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Preprints</a>

Fonts In UseStaff pick: Maelstrom was a literary periodical published in New York from around 1965. The ornamental letters aren’t really fonts in use in the narrow sense, but rather are taken from alphabets published in 1858 in “The Book of Ornamental Alphabets, Ancient and Mediaeval” by engraver Freeman Gage Delamotte.
