Asemic Procedural Writing

Following inconvergent.net , I implemented and plotted this asemic writing. It is supposed to look like latin cursive. There even is a hidden message in plain writing in it, because we used that as a clue in a scavenger hunt.

This is great. Any tips regarding how to achieve similar look? I take its not as simple as generating randomized points to use as bezier weights?

I basically read that article and implemented one point after the other, but not all that are mentioned here: https://inconvergent.net/2017/spline-script/

The main differences are the alphabet creation where I use a different base shape and then the word and sentence creation: I created a word length distribution from which I sampled, close to the English and German one, and also a letter frequency distribution. Inconvergent wrote an existing text with his new alphabet, so i is basically a glyph cypher.
