Postcards in Six Scripts
Six writing systems, side by side.
I designed a series of postcards that place six writing systems next to one another: Mandaic, Syriac, Hebrew, Arabic, Avestan, and Yezidi. Scripts that grew up in the same part of the world, some still widely used, some barely surviving.
Each card treats a single script the way a designer treats a typeface: looking at how it holds proportion, weight, and rhythm on the page. Placed together in one consistent format, the cards let the eye move between them and feel both what they share and where each goes its own way.
A postcard is an ordinary thing, made to be sent and kept. Putting these scripts on one is a small way of carrying writing systems that few people will ever see into everyday hands.
