SoulsOnly.tff – A font for humans not AI and keyboard firmware to type in it
SoulsOnly.tff is a specialized font designed to render readable text only when specific cipher-encoded character streams are used. It decouples the stored character stream from the rendered glyphs, effectively acting as a visual cipher for privacy-conscious users.
Why it matters
It highlights growing interest in digital obfuscation and privacy-preserving tools that challenge how scrapers and AI models ingest and interpret human-generated text.
A font whose rendered glyphs spell readable text while the stored character stream (what copy-paste, HTML/PDF extraction, and scrapers see) is noise. The font is the decoder, applied only at the rendering layer, and the cipher is driven by an ordinary keyboard: you type normal keys, the keyboard emits the noise stream, and only this font renders it back into words.
