The Voynich Ninja

It's a keycap set called MW Voynich that I spotted on Aliexpress. There's Voynichese or bililingual.
I love the plants and other art on the modifier set. This is a keycap set that's modular. Make sure
you are ordering all the caps that you need. Some people like tiny keyboards. I'm a keyboard person.
I was thinking that I couldn't use these on my fancy keyboards, but I could get a cheap keyboard for
this and hang it on the wall as art.

Apparently this was designed by a hobbyist and was originally a group-buy to get the cost down.

Not really necessary, but stylish.

The artistic style is certainly interesting. Transformative yet recognizable.

But can you use it easily to type Voynichese? Is there a font that can be used in conjunction with the keyboard?

I'm not sure whether the photo is of a digital mockup or the actual product. Overall, it doesn't look like this was designed for typing actual Voynichese. EVA d is moved to the numbers row, which is very inconvenient for such common a character, and I can't find EVA l. As far as I can see, there is no standalone EVA t, but two EVA p's. I can't find EVA y either.

I didn't think of it at first, but being able to type in the Eva Hand 1 font would be fun. Missing letters, hmmm--those characters should be in the main array, I would think. Sigh. Non-fanatics. It probably wouldn't really help with typing from transliterated text.

At last we know how the manuscript was actually created!

I did not check in detail, but it seems to be based on the v101 alphabet, and uses the upper case part of it.
This means that some of the common symbols do not appear.

It is not useful, but certainly very pretty.
I will not buy it...

Blast, and there I thought I had your Xmas present all sorted!
