Glyphz

2021

Language doesn`t work. Words are precious vessels. Letters are divine matter.

Glyphz is a JavaScript program that uses SVG.js to combine different writing systems and thus create non-existent graphemes and alphabets that can be downloaded and later modified and used.

In mid-2021, I created a first batch of glyphs using Latin, Arabic, Thai, Lao, Khmer, Hiragana, Katakana, CJK, and Cham writing systems and printed in Rat Trap a two-ink silkscreen piece inspired by the calligraphy works of Wang Xizhi.

Aditionally, my grandmother made a macramé weaving that was added as a last detail.

To use the app:

1. Select one or multiple Unicode blocks from the list.
2. Select a font from the drop-down list.
3. Click the 🗘 button to create a new glyph.
4. Adjust rotation and scale as desired.
5. To download enter the amount of glyphs you want and click the 🡳 button.
