The Dead Letter Archive is a speculative, time-agnostic archive of asemic and imagined writing systems. It catalogs, preserves and exhibits scripts that cannot be read, making no effort to decipher or translate them.

As part of my thesis at MICA, I designed three original asemic scripts, one each from the past, present, and future, built around a specific world and context, letting the writing system emerge naturally from it. Spanning visual identity system, typography, and exhibition design, the project explores what makes a writing system feel real, and whether legibility and meaning are as connected as we assume.

The Dead Letter Archive is a speculative, time-agnostic archive of asemic and imagined writing systems. It catalogs, preserves and exhibits scripts that cannot be read, making no effort to decipher or translate them.
For this project, I designed three asemic scripts — one each for the past, present, and future. A Bronze Age city script, A contemporary script from an isolated island community and a notation system from the first Mars colony.
For this project, I designed three original scripts — one each for the past, present, and future. Velloric is a Bronze Age city script, pressed into clay tablets in Southern Anatolia. The second is a contemporary script from an isolated island community, its glyphs shaped by the sea creatures that surrounded them. The third is a colony notation system from Mars, evolved so far from any Earth language that the connection has been entirely lost.
