This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

Short of court stenography (which uses pre-existing letters in unique combinations and meanings) I don't think you can expect to replicate a custom shorthand font on a computer, on account of how a computer processes words and letters.
I prefer the pigpen cipher. It's quick to learn and I've never met another person who saw it and knew what it was. I used it on notes that I passed to my girlfriend in class because teachers couldn't read it.
There's no benefit over Latin characters other than obscured readibilty (and you can write it in any number of artistic styles), but have you come across Elian? There are plenty of fonts too out there.
What about Webdings/Wingdings? Of course some people might know them though
