Note: The IPA used here was created from the perspective of Standard American English, but should (hopefully) be fairly consistent for RP as well.

Copied info

To write using this font:

Type whatever you want to write phonetically, using the letter combinations above. Use only lowercase²
Vowels are designed to overlap the preceding consonant. To write a vowel on its own, use a - (hyphen) to create a blank line to attach the vowel to. Example: “eye” would be written -ie
To create an inverted syllable (vowel first) write it backwards, then add an _ (underscore) after. Example: “ant” would be written na_t

Footnote

2 The characters outside the basic Latin alphabet are mapped to the appropriate IPA Unicode symbols. If you are comfortable writing using the IPA, this font should support it. Note however that many of the letters within the basic Latin alphabet are mapped in a nonstandard way, so you’ll have to account for that (e.g. “j” = /dʒ/, “a” = /æ/, etc.)
