Tendrilis is a constructed script or writing system that is designed to look like vines. Tendrilis replaces the Latin alphabet and you can use it to write in English or any language that uses primarily the Latin alphabet.
I created Tendrilis for my own creative project, and would love to share it to everyone who wants to use it for journaling or creative projects, tattoos, art, embroidery, roleplaying, books, secret messages, or anything else you can think of!
This PDF guide includes the alphabet, numbers, punctuations, everything you need to start learning to write in Tendrilis.
Update: I also created a font for typing in Tendrilis in documents or design apps.
Update #2 (30 Mar 2025): I created a better Tendrilis font v2 that's easier to use.
Update #3 (9 Apr 2025): Check out Tendrilis design app: https://www.tendrilis.app/
Feel free to use it for anything you'd like, but please don't claim it as your own creation or try to sell this guide or font for profit. Thank you 🫶🌿

You can use this app for making Tendrilis designs digitally: https://www.tendrilis.app/
The font can be installed on your computer to use in design programs (Photoshop, Illustrator,...), word processors (Microsoft Word), or some mobile apps (CapCut).
The font includes the alphabet, basic punctuations, numbers and some diacritics. Uppercase and lowercase letters are the same.
You can type as you would normally,except before and after any punctuation(comma,period,ellipsis,...)you don't type a space,like how I'm typing this sentence.
Use this template to make your own Tendrilis-based alphabet (Follow the guide in this video):
