Bi-Scriptual—Typography and Graphic Design with Multiple Script Systems

Script is language. Language is communication, and communication is the key to successful intercultural exchange. As a result of globalization and increased interaction across countries and cultures, multilingualism is becoming increasingly important all around the world.
Script, as the most important conveyor of information, is at the center of this development. Designers are more and more faced with the challenging task to create advertising posters, signage systems, books or lettering for example that not only combine different languages but two or even more writing systems with varying visual precepts and habits.
