Does anyone know of a writeup of such a system (in English)?

I have a BTC document, but haven't been able to find any "natural canape". Is it a practical approach?

Isn't the Hackett brothers' "The Science" basically a canape and natural system? I forget the details, but I seem to recall reading a basic write-up in rgb at some point... Give it a search and see what you come up with.

No. The Hacketts do open 4 card Mjs in preferences to minors with weak hands, but they do not play a canape system. If memory serves me well, Roman is a canape system and does not have a strong C, though 1C is forcing.

Hmm here's one that's a strong ♥ system. Amazing the things you can find on the web.

I don't think canape works too well with unlimited openers - for a start, responder can give preference to opener's first suit much less often.

Looks like a modified version of a strong pass system, with the fert and pass switched. :) But it's not a pure canapé system, since it's just 'possible canapé'. With 5♠-4♥ you'll show ♠ first, but in canapé systems you should show the ♥s first :)

I agree with MickyB that it's probably not such good idea to play canapé without limited openers...
