→ Type Design / Research / Motion

A typographic system reactivating an ancestral Philippine script for contemporary use.

Historical scripts are often confined to archives or symbolic use.
This limits their presence in contemporary communication systems.
The project explores how a script can be reintroduced as an active design tool.

Reviving a script requires more than preservation.

It demands translation into contemporary typographic standards.

Usability becomes a condition for cultural continuity.

Archival forms → Structural glyph reconstruction
Calligraphic rhythm → Digital stroke modulation
Tradition → Multi-weight type family
Cultural script → Contemporary typographic system
Preservation → Cross-platform usability

Glyph consistency
Weight variations
