Notes on the Design

The Glyphs featured on this site design are derived from markings that can be found on ancient Mesopotamian clay tablets that record economic activities, such as tax obligations and payment receipts. One of the primary technologies and skills assembled into the earliest printing presses in China and Korea was bronze casting for coinage. The digital typography displayed on this website is transmitted via the Internet, whose physical infrastructure echoes the network of submarine cables established to facilitate commerce and administration across the British Empire.
