The project explores how the ancient Glagolitic script can inspire modern graphic design. Glagolitic, one of the oldest Slavic alphabets is almost unknown today. Motivated by its unique visual character and cultural depth, it led to the creation of two typefaces – Re: Glagolitic Futurity, a geometric and futuristic design and Re: Glagolitic Yld, a more alive and expressive interpretation. To present the typefaces, a book titled The Glagolitic Revival was developed, featuring seven chapters: from the history and visual analysis of the script to the design process and experimental typographic compositions. The aim was to demonstrate how ancient scripts can evolve into tools for contemporary visual storytelling. This project reimagines Glagolitic not as a relic of the past, but as a vibrant source of modern design inspiration.
