Reviving Dead Words with Beautiful Typography
A blog called The Dead Words is using thematically appropriate typography to breathe new life into, well, dead words.
In an attempt to bring back to our vocabulary some long-forgotten words, a blog called The Dead Words is using thematically appropriate typography to breathe new life into them.
Curator of the project, Karen To, is attempting animate lost words which have slipped from our tongues, bringing them back into everyday language. Senticous, for example, means ‘prickly or thorny’ and is thus captured in green vine-like letters interlinked with one another.
