Seed Phrases (or alternative representations) for Bitcoin Addresses/nostr pubk?

Has any encountered a non-standard way to represent bitcoin addresses?
Like a non-technical way to represent the actual data in a bitcoin address. Seed phrases are good jumping off point of what I'm looking for: where 12 common words can replace the underlying byte data for a private key. Baiscally I'm looking for encoding schemes that don't look intimidating to non-technical folks.
(I'm not looking for DNS system where some registry maps usernames to stored addresses, e.g. @bounty_hunter -> bc1qcq...uhhv, @xyz -> bc1abc...lmno And not looking for a qr code or something.)
Update: Also interested in ways to represent pubkeys on Nostr

From my understanding pubkeys have 2 formats: format1: npub1xchtl75ftt9s4f8v9ugetxcuyvawcgn47cdnhmhpnvdkujfwyuvs34sudw (63 characters aka Bech32) format2: 362ebffa895acb0aa4ec2f11959b1c233aec2275f61b3beee19b1b6e492e2719 (64 characters aka Hex-Encoded)
If I had any programming skills, I would try to use https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki to convert the hex-encoded public key into a word list, but that is as far as I can go ...
