Alien Speculative Typography

December 2025

The Alien Speculative Typography project was a series of 2 books i made to explore human written language in the lense of worldbuilding and story enrichment. the first book is the printed specimen with interviews from language creators who made some of the most interesting and compelling alien languages in pop culture. The first book is meant to be the outline for how to make alien languages. The second project is the "Gurellian Tomb" which is my attempt as creating an alien language, i made a decipherable book all created by hand. even the paper was handmade. along with the handmade art book i produced an index for the letterforms, and a specimen to explain how to decipher the text.

Overall i think this project was a massive success and so i include both the question and the answer to showcase the skills i used over this 6 month long project. I used typography, Design thinking, Illustration, and craftsmanship to bring this project to completion and Im very proud of it.
