Human thinking is primordially visual. In the course of human evolution it was the language of gestures, not verbal language, which introduced conceptual order into the episodic imagery of pre-linguistic thought. The idea of the primacy of the visual, beginning with Plato, is continuous through Aristotle to the British Empiricists in the 17th–18th centuries, and is today once more on the rise.

I took this opportunity to participate in the virtual research group and share some notes on the expanding ‘parameters’ of the typographic discipline. In the light of an ontological turn, pictorial turn, archival turn, and many other “theoretical interventions” which have generated a lot of contemporary rethinking, I explore ideas on situating typography in the space of emerging new thoughts, a fluid space that is posing a lot of routes for the expansion of the typographic scholarship.

In the paper, I initially lean on Braidotti’s view on ‘posthumanism’ as a navigational tool to explore and expand the field by “comparing notes” across disciplines. Building upon this notion of comparing notes, I consider Leonidas’s reflections on typography which highlight historical and cultural complexities of the field. Their two theoretical standpoints support the main purpose of this paper which is to explore intersecting points between typography and other disciplines. I provide a very brief, and potentially very experimental, proposition of intersectionality between postdigital condition, reimagining of the archives, and typography as a culture-defining element.

This paper is featured in an online volume Perspectives on Visual Learning, Vol. 5. edited by Petra Aczél, András Benedek, and Kristóf Nyíri.

It addresses a recent phenomenon of multilingualism i.e. multi-script typography entering the world of graphic design. While integration of multiple writing systems enriches our visual vocabulary, it still battles to avoid cultural pastiche and establish meaningful relationships between cultures. This paper provides a brief overview of the key challenges concerning multi-script typography and encourages furthering of the conversation on the cohabitation of multiple writing systems.
