Computed Language is a visual archive of typographic systems, language technologies, and forgotten code. Conceived as a limited-edition series of hand-printed posters, the project charts a broad spectrum of linguistic tools, some canonical, others experimental or extinct.
From early encoding systems and screen fonts to unrecognized scripts and dead ends in digital design, each poster represents a milestone along the computational timeline. The work seeks to preserve these often invisible technologies and bring them into the space of typographic design discourse.
