Read full description

Write your own words in the Witches' Alphabet. Theban Script turns Latin letters into Theban, the mysterious alphabet recorded by Cornelius Agrippa in 1533. Every glyph was hand-traced from the historical table and built into a custom font, so you see the authentic shape, not a modern imitation. Features - Encoder: type in English and watch it become Theban. Adjust the glyph size to taste. - Alphabet: browse all 26 letters with their origins. - Charms: turn your text into an image to save or share. Good for journals, sigils, or tattoo drafts. - Grimoire: the history of Theban and how it was used. About the script Also called the Witches' Alphabet, Theban is a one-to-one substitution for the Latin letters. Medieval grimoires used it to keep words hidden. This is a reference app for the writing system itself, not a divination tool. All glyph shapes are based on public-domain historical sources.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: English at Free against Theban Script's $1.99. English also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Theban Script's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
