Swedish Language

The modern Swedish language spelling rules were created by Carl Gustaf af Leopold. The Swedish language is one of the bases for the language system I will be creating. A breakdown of the language can be found here: Swedish Language Breakdown.


Evolution of a Language

This is a diagram by Matt Baker, showcasing the evolution of the modern alphabet. This gives the basis of the historical placement and evolutionary feeling of the language system being created.

Work that is Similiar in Look and Feel

Viking Runes Guide

This is from a company called Sons of Vikings. They broke down the meaning and structure of Viking runes. This is a similar look and feel for the starting basis of the language system that is being created. For the full breakdown from Sons of Vikings visit here: Viking Runes Breakdown.

Atreyu Font


 This font was designed by Greg Eckler and published through Lost Type. This font shows an almost transitional feeling from a runic style that I want to capture in one of the versions of the language glyph system. Font can be found here: Lost Type Post.

Personal Work that is Similiar

Avinoux Language System

I am currently expanding the roster of letters within the font, while exploring multiple variations on varying letters. The O is the least settled upon look so far.

Since right now, only angular and vertical glyphs have been extensively explored

Font Look - Update

Reverse Contrast After reviewing my preliminary design, I went back to get a more concrete look for the font design. I decided on a reverse contrast slab serif look. Some research on a similar look and feels from other typefaces are below.

Thoughts on Thesis

1. At this moment, what aspect(s) of your thesis are you most  excited  about, and why?  The research phase is what I am most excited about with my thesis. It is in large part the backbone of the entirety of my thesis and it is a topic I find interesting. 2. At this moment, what aspect(s) of your thesis are you most  concerned  about, and why?  I am most concerned about the reasoning for the choices I am making. I have not really worked out why I want to do things the way I do which, is why this is my biggest concern. 3.
