TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the seraphinians of the codex Seraphinianus show a highly individual form of handwriting, and that there is zero credible evidence that Seraphinian is phonetic.
Abstract: Codex Seraphinianus with its non-conventional “script” and the dazzling pictorial elements has charmed and keeps charming readers, reaching a cult status among them. Luigi Serafini had the idea to commit the legacy of an invented fantastic world to “writing” by searching pictorial and scribal possibilities. Examination of Seraphinian, the alleged script, shows a highly individual form of handwriting. The tests (notation set, n-gram count, and positional analysis) do not intend to definitely resolve ambiguities, rather than provide a number of plausible options from a writing system perspective. Although there is zero credible evidence that Seraphinian is phonetic, the results may appeal to interested parties or to the potential contributors in the future for exploring other intellectual teases, whether real-world or constructed script systems.
